What is recorded here

Shirburn Castle is a moated, brick castle in Oxfordshire, built around 1378 for Warin de Lisle and later remodified by the Earls of Macclesfield. Its corner towers rise above rendered walls, while the surrounding gardens give it the air of a private dream rather than a public monument. The family lived there until 2004, and much of its cherished collection later scattered at auction, leaving behind a house that still feels occupied by memory.
The National Heritage List for England records Shirburn Castle as a registered park or garden at Grade II. 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.

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