What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Betchworth 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.

Betchworth Castle was built by the Bishop of Winchester in the 14th century as a hunting lodge and defensive stronghold. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval bishop's castle and is now a scheduled monument protected for its historical and archaeological significance.
