What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Tower keep castle at Sutton Valence 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, Sutton Valence Tower Keep was constructed by the de Valence family, a prominent Norman noble lineage. It is remembered for its well-preserved medieval architecture and its role in the regional defense and administration of the area during the medieval period.
