Speedwell Castle, Brewood

This glorious Gothick confection with it's eyecatching ogee-arched bay windows stands in the centre of Brewood. Constructed around 1750, the story goes that it was built by an apothecary using the proceeds of a bet on the Duke of Bolton's horse 'Speedwell', and has thus been referred to as 'Speedwell Caste' ever since.

 

The building is in private hands for residential use, currently divided into seperate flats.
