Inspired by a couple of the other excellent castle lists out there, I thought I'd give Gloucestershire a go. A couple of comments at this stage:

This first draft isn't complete. There are a number of smaller sites and fortified manor houses I haven't been able to add yet. But its a start! I haven't included castles which weren't fortified (e.g. later big houses which just had "castle" in their name).
When the weather improves a bit I'll fish out the camera and go and take some photos of the sites that currently lack images. But its too cold and snowy right now....
I've created new articles for castles where appropriate, but I don't think all the sites would be notable on their own. In those instances, I haven't red-linked them.
I need to tidy up some bits of this, but thought I'd get it out of user-space before Christmas.

Do you know if Gloucestershire's boundaries were changed in 1974? If not, King's Castellarium Anglicanum has a couple of interesting things to say about groupings of castles in the county. Nev1 (talk) 17:37, 3 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I think they did change, but I'll check. I was struggling with the Bristol boundaries before on this. I've some more castles to add to the list, which are lurking in user space at the moment. Hchc2009 (talk) 17:47, 3 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ah, thinking about it I think Gloucestershire's boundaries have changed; something about it cropped up at Talk:List of hill forts in England. I suppose even if the boundaries changed, something could be added on what King says with a caveat that it applies to pre-1974 counties if you think it's useful.

Sounds good to me. Hchc2009 (talk) 18:14, 3 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
