Grimsbury Castle

The National Heritage List for England records Grimsbury 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.

Grimsbury Castle was built in the 13th century, likely by the de Montacute family, and later held by the Montagu family, who were prominent in the region during the medieval period. It is important as a well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle and as evidence of feudal military architecture in the English countryside.
