Boarstall Tower and the moat
On 12th September 1312, King Edward II granted John de Haudlo a licence to fortify his mansion house at Boarstall with a wall of lime and stone. The magnificent fortified gatehouse seen in the photograph above and known for some time as Boarstall Tower is the result. This may seem a somewhat free interpretation of the licence quod ipse mansum suum de Borstall [sic] juxta Brehull [Brill] in Com. Buck. muro de petra & calce firmare & kernellare possit but all licences "to crenellate" were similarly worded.
