What is recorded here

Sedgwick Castle was a moated stronghold built in 1258 inside an old hunting park, yet it surrendered its own stones to found a new lodge by 1600. Two wide ditches still cut the earth like forgotten rings, enclosing only crumbling wall fragments and quiet ponds. The castle did not vanish in battle or decay; it was dismantled and reused, its identity erased to build something else. What remains is not a ruin but a transformation, a place that became another place rather than disappearing.

Sedgwick Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Horsham. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Sedgwick Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Sedgwick family, a prominent landowning family in the area. It is remembered as a symbol of medieval power and as an example of early military architecture in the region.
