Newton St Loe Castle, Medieval fortified manor house in Newton St Loe, England
The castle contains a rectangular courtyard layout with four corner towers and features a significant three-story keep with stone walls and slate roof.
The construction of Newton St Loe Castle started in 1350, initially owned by the de Paveleys family before passing to John de Sancto Laudo through inheritance.
The castle grounds include remains of a medieval deer park, representing the traditional hunting practices of English nobility during the Middle Ages.
The castle structures currently serve as educational facilities for Bath Spa University, with the keep and gatehouse maintaining Grade I listed building status.
The gatehouse incorporates one of the earliest examples of a gunport in English castle architecture, demonstrating the transition in medieval defensive systems.
