Folkingham Castle

The National Heritage List for England records Folkingham 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.

Folkingham Castle was built in the 11th century, likely by the de Fiennes family, and later held by the powerful D'Albini family, who were key Norman lords in Lincolnshire. It is important as a rare example of a motte-and-bailey castle that provides insight into early Norman military architecture and land control in post-Conquest England.
