What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Cosmeston Castle as Recorded historic place from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Cosmeston Castle was built in the late 13th or early 14th century by the de Bohun family, a prominent noble lineage in south Wales. It is remembered as a key defensive structure in the Marcher lordship system and for its later use as a country house associated with the influential Somerset family.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
