What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Nottingham 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.

Nottingham Castle was originally built in the 11th century, following the Norman Conquest, and was held by the de Lacy family before coming under royal control. It is important as a historic symbol of Norman power and as a key site in the history of the region, later associated with the legend of Robin Hood.
