What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Crew Castle bastle 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.
Crew Castle bastle was built in the late 16th or early 17th century by a local landowner for defensive purposes during a period of social unrest. It is important as a rare surviving example of a bastle house, a type of fortified farmhouse unique to North East England.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
