What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Bletchingley castle (ringwork and bailey) 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.
Bletchingley Castle (ringwork and bailey) was built in the late 12th or early 13th century, likely by a local landowner or noble associated with the de Warenne family, who held the area. It is remembered as an example of a ringwork castle, a type of medieval defensive structure reflecting the military and territorial strategies of the post-Conquest period in southern England.
