Gloucestershire Places to Visit Historic - Chastleton House

A rare gem of a Jacobean country house, Chastleton House was built between 1607 and 1612 by a prosperous wool merchant as an impressive statement of wealth and power.

Robert Catesby, one of the leading figures in the Gunpowder Plot, once owned the Chastleton estate and had to sell the estate shortly before the plot in order to pay a huge fine for his part in the Essex Rebellion.

Step back in time with a house that has barely changed. There is no shop or tearoom. A National Trust property.
