Tower keep castle at Chilham

The National Heritage List for England records Tower keep castle at Chilham 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.

Built in the 12th century, Chilham Castle's tower keep was constructed by the de Chalons family, later held by the powerful Bigod family. It is important as a well-preserved example of Norman military architecture and as a historical site linked to key medieval noble families in East Anglia.
