What is recorded here
Kirby Muxloe Castle stands in Blaby, England, recorded as a scheduled monument though the name Muxloe still puzzles. The castle may have worn that word long before written rules existed, carrying a voice or warning lost to time.
The National Heritage List for England records Kirby Muxloe 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.
Built in the late 15th century by Sir John de Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, Kirby Muxloe Castle is remembered for its unique and well-preserved medieval tower, which reflects the military architecture of the late Middle Ages in England.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
