What is recorded here

Clitheroe Castle is a registered Grade II park containing one of England's smallest surviving Norman keeps, built in the 12th century to administer the de Lacy family's northern lands. The complex later became a permanent home for stewards, whose 18th-century house now holds a museum where an elephant molar and Roman strigil share shelves with local legends. Today the entire site, including the bronze Grenadier Guard unveiled in 1923, functions as the town's war memorial, tying medieval administration, natural history and modern grief into one limestone mound.

The National Heritage List for England records Clitheroe Castle as a registered park or garden at Grade II. 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.

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