Beverston is a village and civil parish in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 132. The village is about two miles west of Tetbury. Beverston (also spelled Beverstone) is an example of a typical unaltered Gloucestershire Cotswold village. It is home to Beverston Castle dating to the 12th Century, a Norman Church (worth the walk from the main road, the A4135 road) and some good examples of Cotswold architecture. According to Lumina Technologies[1] the bluish limestone used in construction of Beverston Castle is very similar in characteristics as the stone used in nearby Calcot Manor.
