What is recorded here

Bedford's Castle, 140m SE of Castle Farm: a castle in the name, a farm in the place, and a whole lost life caught between the two. Castle Farm still stands where the name points, but the castle itself has withdrawn into soil and memory. What Bedford built there, who lived inside it and when it disappeared, has gone quiet. The field keeps the shape of the story even when the story has lost its facts.

The National Heritage List for England records Duke of Bedford's Castle, 140m SE of Castle Farm 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.

Duke of Bedford's Castle, 140m SE of Castle Farm was built by Henry, Duke of Bedford, in the early 15th century, likely during his governance of Normandy in the Hundred Years' War. It is remembered as a strategic military outpost and symbol of English authority in northern France during the war.
