What is recorded here
Wareham Town Walls and Castle Remains date back to the 12th century and were originally constructed for defensive purposes during the Norman period. The site is associated with the de Courcy family, who held the castle, and it played a strategic role in regional military history due to its position controlling access to the River Frome.
