CastleXplorer - Beeston Castle (701 words) |
| Beeston had no keep, instead small towers projected from the walls which allowed defenders to fire across the faces of the walls. |
| King Henry mainly used Beeston as a base to assemble troops and supplies for his campaigns against the Welsh, and as a place to keep prisoners and hostages. |
| It was acquired by a local landowner, Sir Hugh Beeston of Beeston Hall, who allowed some of the poorer members of his family to live in part of the castle and use the land for farming. |
