What is recorded here

Amberley Castle stands in Horsham, England, recorded as a scheduled monument though its visible shape may have changed since medieval times. The castle belongs to a long human story of residence, defence and memory, even when no tower remains for a visitor to touch. Listing protects the place and acknowledges its importance, but it does not promise entry or explain every loss the site has suffered.
The National Heritage List for England records Amberley 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.
Amberley Castle was built in the 12th century, likely by the de Grey family, and later held by the powerful Dacres family in the 16th century. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval moated castle and for its historical association with regional noble families.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
