What is recorded here
Totternhoe Castle was a Norman motte-and-bailey castle built in the 11th century, likely by the de Totternhoe family, and served as a strategic defensive and administrative centre in the medieval period. Its earthwork remains are significant for understanding early medieval settlement and military architecture in Central Bedfordshire.
