What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Wallingford 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.
William the Conqueror built Wallingford Castle in the 11th century, and it was strategically important due to its position on the River Thames. It played a key role in several medieval conflicts, including the Barons' War, and was notable as the place where King John was declared a heretic in 1216.

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