One of Thornbury's most notable features is its castle, a Tudor structure begun in 1511 as a home for Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham. The two intricate red brick chimneys were built in 1514, and are similar to those found at Hampton Court Palace. Cardinal Wolsey beheaded the Duke for treason in 1521. Following the Duke's demise the castle was confiscated by King Henry VIII who stayed at the Castle for ten days in 1535 with Anne Boleyn..
Following the English Civil War Thornbury castle fell into disrepair but was renovated in 1824 by the Howard family. The Castle is now a 27 room luxury hotel and restaurant.
