About this place
Sudeley Castle was built in the fifteenth century and stands in the Cotswolds near Winchcombe, Gloucestershire.
It is the only private castle in England to have a queen buried within its grounds.
Katherine Parr, the sixth wife of Henry VIII, is interred in St Mary's Church, which sits within the castle estate.
The castle is privately owned and managed, with its own visitor programme run directly by the estate.
