Beverston Castle (3) - History
This is the oldest, uninhabited part of Beverston Castle. In fact, I had to take this photo through the bars of an iron gate, so I couldn't get any closer to avoid the dark shadows ...
On Wikipedia, there is some information on Beverston Castle to be found, accompanied by a photo that is almost identical to mine! This is an extract:
"Beverston Castle, also known as Beverstone Castle or Tetbury Castle, was constructed as a medieval stone fortress in the village of Beverston, Gloucestershire, England. The property is a mix of manor house, various small buildings, extensive gardens and the medieval ruins of the fortified building. The castle was founded in 1229 by Maurice de Gaunt, and it saw action in the Civil War.
Much of the castle remained in a state of ruin according to a 2019 report, and had been uninhabitable since the 17th century. Several buildings on the 693-acre property, including five cottages and the 17th century house with seven bedrooms, were in use as residences, however."
