What is recorded here

Caludon Castle in Coventry lost most of its structure in 1662, leaving only a fragment of grey sandstone wall beside a modern housing estate. The site dates to the 11th century, became a manor for the Segrave family, and was rebuilt as a mansion around 1580 after decades of neglect. A 2008 survey traced an oval defence line, moat and large hall beneath the ground, suggesting the castle was far bigger than its remaining wall admits.
Caludon Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Coventry. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Caludon Castle was built by the de Clinton family in the 12th century and later held by the de Montalt family. It is remembered as a strategic stronghold in the early medieval period and as the site of a significant battle in 1215 during the First Barons' War.
