In 1237, Henry III took over the ownership of Beeston, and it was kept in good repair until the 16th century, when it was considered to be of no further military use, although it was pressed into service again in 1643, during the English Civil War.
I 1237 overtog Henrik 3. ejerskabet af Beeston, og den blev vedligeholdt og brugt til 1500-tallet, hvor den ikke længere var militært anvendelig, men den blev alligevel brugt i 1643 under den engelske borgerkrig.
