Why this matters
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.
