Croft Castle

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Croft Castle is a scheduled monument in Torridge, England, a distinction that protects its remains but does not guarantee entry. The boundary between preservation and exclusion remains unclear without direct inspection. What is certain is that the state values the site enough to mark it, yet the mark itself reveals no chamber, chamber door or living memory.
The National Heritage List for England records Croft 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.
Croft Castle was built by the Croft family in the 14th century and later held by the Talbot family in the 16th century. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval fortified manor house and is listed for its historical and architectural significance.

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