A chapel dedicated to St Twrog, perhaps containing a navigation light, was later built on the rock but was ruined before the 18th century. In 956, Beachley was part of lands granted by King Edwy to Bath Abbey.
Army Apprentices College
In 1915, during World War I, the government requisitioned a large area of land at Beachley and constructed National Shipyard No.2. However the war ended before production had begun. In 1924 it was decided to establish a British Army Apprentices School at the site. The AAC closed in 1994, and the army converted the site to an infantry barracks.
