Eccleshall Castle, Medieval castle in Eccleshall, England.

The castle features stone walls, defensive structures, and a nine-sided tower incorporated into the current building constructed in 1693.

During the English Civil War in 1643, Parliamentary forces led by Sir William Brereton conducted a siege that resulted in extensive damage.

The castle grounds occasionally open their gardens for local charitable events, maintaining a connection with the Eccleshall community.

Located in Staffordshire on the main road between Chester and Lichfield, the castle remains a private residence with restricted public access.

The land where the castle stands was granted to St Chad, with Bishop Geoffrey de Muschamp receiving permission from King John for fortification in 1200.
