Mortimer's Castle N and E of St Bartholomew's Church

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Mortimer's Castle N and E of St Bartholomew's Church stands as a scheduled monument in Herefordshire, marking a lost structure that time has buried beneath grass and memory. The name suggests a lordly hand shaped the earth, yet no tower remains to prove it. Whoever built it left behind a shape strong enough to survive centuries of rain, plough and neglect. The land still holds the promise of that forgotten frame, waiting for someone patient enough to imagine it standing.
The National Heritage List for England records Mortimer's Castle N and E of St Bartholomew's Church 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 by the Mortimer family in the 13th or 14th century, Mortimer's Castle N and E of St Bartholomew's Church is remembered for its historical association with one of the most powerful noble families in medieval England. Its designation as a scheduled monument reflects its archaeological and historical significance.
