Boarstall Tower, Medieval gatehouse in Boarstall, England.
The stone gatehouse features arrow slits, crenellated battlements, and a surrounding moat that encompasses three sides of the property.
John de Haudlo constructed the fortified gatehouse in 1312 to protect his manor residence, drawing inspiration from Tonbridge Castle in Kent.
The National Trust maintains this Grade I listed building, preserving its medieval defensive features and early 17th-century interior chambers.
Visitors can explore the gatehouse and gardens at Boarstall Tower, located between Bicester and Thame on the B4011 road in Buckinghamshire.
The property connects to a legend of a wild boar hunt, where King Edward the Confessor granted land to a hunter who eliminated a troublesome beast.
