| Beeston Castle is a former Royal castle in Cheshire, England,perched on a rocky sandstone crag 350 feet above the Cheshire Plain. It was built in the 1220s by Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester, 1170-1232, on his return from the Crusades. In 1237, Henry III took over the ownership of Beeston, and it was kept in good repair until the 16th century, when it was considered to be of no further military use, although it was pressed into service again in 1643, during the English Civil War. The castle was slighted in 1646, in accordance with Cromwell`s destruction order, to prevent its further use as a stronghold. During the 18th century, parts of the site were used as a quarry. |
