What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Cranbrook 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.
Cranbrook Castle was built by the de Crioll family in the 12th century and later held by the powerful Mortimer family in the 14th century. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval motte-and-bailey castle and for its historical association with key noble families in the region.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
