What is recorded here

Huntington Castle rose on a steep border ridge where English and Welsh fates collided, surviving de Braose blood, de Bohun pride and Stafford steel before Glyndwr’s riders burned the local mill and walked past its walls. Anne, Countess of Stafford, refortified the place and set John Sment to guard it, yet the castle still bled into ruin as peace returned and ownership changed hands. Today only earthworks and broken stone remain, hidden beneath vegetation and listed as Heritage at Risk, while the valley keeps the shape of every battle that refused to be forgotten.

The National Heritage List for England records Huntington 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.

Huntington Castle was built in the 12th century by the de Lucy family, a prominent Norman noble lineage. It is remembered for its strategic importance in the Norman conquest and control of eastern England.
