Thornbury Castle Hotel
Set back behind St Mary's Church, beyond the north end of Castle Street, Thornbury.
The hotel's website states that this is the only Tudor castle in England to open as a hotel, and that
"Edward Stafford, the 3rd Duke of Buckingham received a royal licence to build this fortified manor or castle-palace in 1510. Work started the following year but stopped when the Duke was executed on the orders of his distant cousin Henry VIII for alleged treason in 1521. In 1535, King Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn, stayed here. Princess Mary, later Queen Mary I, also lived here for several years. Today, much still remains of the original 16th century building."

A lengthy welcome
Lots of engraved text over the entrance to Thornbury Castle. The old Tudor pile is now a modern hotel and business venue and this greets everyone who enters the inner courtyard.

A Tudor twist
The distinctive chimneys of Thornbury Castle, dating from Tudor times and having plenty of intricate details - including three faces at the lower end. The castle was planned by Edward Stafford, Third Duke of Buckingham, in 1511. As one of King Henry VIII's closest subjects, it was something of a cruel demise when he was accused of treason; he was later beheaded (Shakespeare described it as 'The Long Divorce of Steel') and Henry took possession of the castle.
