Sudeley Castle stands in the Cotswold hills near the market town of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England, and is a Grade I listed building. Construction began in 1443 for Ralph Boteler, Lord High Treasurer of England, on the site of a 12th-century fortified manor house. It is notable as the only privately owned castle in the world with a Queen of England buried in its grounds: Catherine Parr, Henry VIII's sixth wife, who is buried in the castle's church.
