Historical Overview
Beverston Castle, also known as Beverstone Castle or Tetbury Castle, is a castle in the village of Beverston, Gloucestershire, England. It was constructed as a medieval stone fortress. 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. Much of the castle was 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.
