Boarstall Tower is a 14th-century moated gatehouse located in Boarstall, Buckinghamshire, England, and now, with its surrounding gardens, a National Trust property.
The gatehouse was built by John de Haudlo in 1312[1] to defend his residence, Boarstall House, a fortified manor house that was demolished in 1778.[2] Although the Tower was updated in 1615 for use as a banqueting pavilion or hunting lodge, it retained its mediaeval belfry, cross loops and crenellations. The exterior and many rooms are essentially unchanged since then.[2]
