What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Burwell 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.
Burwell Castle was built in the 12th century by the de Burgh family, a prominent Norman noble lineage. It is remembered for its strategic importance in the medieval landscape of eastern England and as an example of early military architecture.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
