Beeston Castle by John Weaver

Beeston Castle stands on the rocky crags which fall away sharply from the castle walls, 500 feet above the Cheshire plain. The castle was built in 1225 by Ranulf, sixth Earl of Chester, freshly returned from the Crusades. Within ten years, the castle was seized by King Henry III, and it stayed in royal ownership until the Civil Wars. This guide to the castle describes its history, its Marches heritage and features photographs of the current site and reconstructions of the original building.
