    The 1502 Progress: Coates / Cotes, Gloucestershire

    Just as with Beverston, the mention of Cotes as a location on the 1502 progress is fleeting.

    Coates is a parish about three miles west of Cirencester in Gloucestershire. During the medieval and Tudor periods, Cirencester was a thriving wool town. Henry had visited Cirencester before, on at least one occasion. The choice of Cotes Place as a lodging for the royal party may have meant that the King could rekindle acquaintances with the wool merchants of the nearby town.

    The 1502 Progress: Berkeley Castle, Gloucestershire

    The next significant stop on the 1502 progress after Woolaston was Berkeley Castle, where the royal couple stayedย for five days from 29 August to 4 September.

    Berkeley Castle still stands largely untouched since it was set in stone during the eleventh, twelfth and fourteenth centuries.ย 

    Berkeley Castle is highly distinctive in appearance. Built on a typical Norman motte and bailey design during the early and mid-medieval period, it has been constructed from local pink, grey, and yellow Severn sandstone, with its roofs mainly made of Cotswold stone, slate, or lead.ย
