Parts of the present castle date from the 15th century. The castle was fought over in the English Civil War and afterwards was partially demolished by the Parliamentarians, leaving it as an uninhabitable ruin.  In 1837 the picturesque ruin was bought by two wealthy industrialists, the Dents, who restored most parts of the castle as a Victorian country house. Richard III&#8217;s hall was left as a picturesque ruin.<br \/>\nDetached from the house is an interesting chapel, also restored in the 19th century.<br \/>\nMany historic names are associated with Sudeley, including Richard III, Henry VIII, Queen Katherine Parr, Lady Jane Grey, Elisabeth I, and George III.<br \/>\nVarious rooms are open to the public, but most of these are exhibition spaces. The &#8216;Castle Rooms&#8217; contain some furnished rooms with interesting contents.<br \/>\nIn the grounds are lawns, formal and informal gardens, and an aviary with a collection of exotic pheasants. The grounds are well worth a walk around the circuit.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3325\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3325\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Sudeley_0507.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Sudeley_0507-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Richard III hall\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3325\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3325\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Richard III hall<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_3326\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3326\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Sudeley_0509.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Sudeley_0509-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Gardens\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3326\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3326\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gardens<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Privately Owned There has been a castle at Sudeley since Norman times.
