Quadrangular castle at Beverston

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Quadrangular castle at Beverston is a scheduled monument in the Cotswold, a rare surviving shape that still marks the field where it stood. The name itself admits the form: four sides, one purpose, and enough strength to resist forgetting. Whatever lives there now does so inside an old geometry, still answering the angle first and the years second.
The National Heritage List for England records Quadrangular castle at Beverston 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.
Beverston Castle, a quadrangular castle in Gloucestershire, was built in the 14th century by the Berkeley family, who held it for several centuries. It is important as a well-preserved example of medieval military architecture and is associated with the execution of King Charles I in 1649.
