About

Caverswall Castle is a privately owned early-17th-century English mansion built in a castellar style upon the foundations and within the walls of a 13th-century castle, in Caverswall, Staffordshire. It is a Grade I listed building. The castle is large, with a floor area of 2,030 square yards (1,700 m2).

Originated as a fortified manor house in the 13th century. The Caverswall family held it before it passed to the Montgomerys in the 15th century, three of whom served as High Sheriff of Staffordshire. From 1811 to 1853 it housed a community of Benedictine nuns. The moated castle retains medieval fabric beneath later alterations. Grade II* listed building, now in private ownership.
