Beaumont Castle

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Beaumont Castle is a scheduled monument in Cherwell, England, where the land itself has been marked worth keeping. The name suggests beauty, but castle work is often collision, border control and human pride written in stone. The site may have shown a valley road, a family claim or a military mistake made permanent. What is clear is that the place still belongs to memory, even when its walls no longer answer every question.
The National Heritage List for England records Beaumont Castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Beaumont Castle was built in the 12th century by the de Beaumont family, a Norman noble lineage with significant landholdings in England following the Norman Conquest. It is remembered as an example of early medieval military architecture and for its historical association with the influential Beaumonts, who played a role in the political and military affairs of Norman and Plantagenet England.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
