Beckley Park, Tudor hunting lodge in Beckley and Stowood, England.
The red brick structure features three concentric moats surrounding the main building, with projecting gabled towers and formal gardens overlooking the central island.
Built in 1540 by Lord Williams of Thame, the lodge was first mentioned in 1347 and rebuilt in 1376 for King Edward III with moats dating from the 14th century.
The Grade I listed building represents Tudor architecture and hunting traditions, with its design reflecting the status of nobility in medieval England.
The property functions as headquarters for the Beckley Foundation while maintaining its protected status under English heritage regulations for building modifications.
Three separate moats encircle the structure, making it among the few remaining English country houses with this medieval defensive feature intact.
