What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Alton Castle 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.
Alton Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Alton family, a prominent local landholding family in the area. It is remembered as an important medieval stronghold and is now protected as a scheduled monument due to its historical and architectural significance.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
