What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Buckenham 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.
Buckenham Castle was built in the 12th century by the de Buckenham family, a prominent Norman landholding family in Norfolk. It is important as a well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle and as evidence of medieval land ownership and military architecture in eastern England.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
