Boarstall House (near Brill, Buckinghamshire) was a moated Tudor house used as a Royalist garrison throughout the war. Its position between Oxford and Aylesbury made it strategically significant. It held out until June 1646, after Oxford had fallen. The gatehouse survives as a National Trust property.
