What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Desborough 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.
Desborough Castle was built by the de Warenne family in the 12th century and later held by the Crown during the English Civil War. It is important as a well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle and for its historical associations with medieval military architecture and conflict.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
