What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Holwell 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.

Holwell Castle was built in the 12th century by the de Holwell family, a Norman landholding family in the region. It is remembered as an example of early medieval military architecture and for its strategic role in the local defense and feudal structure of the time.
