Bury Manor Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bury Manor Castle is a English Heritage Site located in the village of Wick, South Gloucestershire, England. The castle was rebuilt approximately 500 years ago on the original foundations (which date to c. 1200) over the cellars which date back over 800 years. The cellars were used during Cromwell's time (17th century) as an ammunition store and apparently has secret passageways, which lead to Doynton and Wick churches.
During the years 2002-2006 the castle was run as a luxury guest house, attracting guests from all over the world.
In August 2006, the castle was sold to a private owner who is currently converting it back into a private home, with a significant restoration program, being overseen by architect Basil Woodward and much of the work being undertajen by local construction company C&R Builders.
