Alberbury Castle: tower keep castle 70m south west of the Church of St Michael and All Angels — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Alberbury Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey earthwork set seventy metres south-west of the Church of St Michael and All Angels. Built during the post-Conquest settlement of the Welsh Marches, its ditches and outer bailey marked a baronial stronghold that controlled local communication. The earth still holds the shape of that power, even though no stone tower remains for a hand to touch.

The National Heritage List for England records Alberbury Castle: tower keep castle 70m south west of the Church of St Michael and All Angels as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Alberbury Castle was built in the 12th century by the de Alberbury family, a local Norman landholding family. It is remembered as a significant example of a motte-and-bailey castle that reflects the early medieval military and social structures in Shropshire.
