What is recorded here

Bishop's Castle in Shropshire is a ruin, not a complete building, but the name still marks the place on the local map. The lost castle may have had a courtyard, a gate and rooms where people lived, worked or kept guard. What remains is a reminder that the land was shaped by human hands long before the present day.

Bishop's Castle (remains) is shown as a castle on the public map of Shropshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Bishop's Castle was built in the 12th century by Roger de Montgomerie, the first Earl of Shrewsbury, and held by the bishops of Lichfield from the 13th century onward. It is remembered for its strategic position on the Welsh Marches and as an example of a medieval bishop's secular residence.
