What is recorded here
Beeston Castle was built by the de Montalt family in the 13th century, with significant fortifications added in the 14th century by the Mortimer family. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval Welsh border castle and for its strategic role in the defense of the region during the Hundred Years' War.
