What is recorded here

Wattlesborough Castle is a ruined 13th-century tower house in Shropshire, England, where the Leighton family lived from 1471 until 1711. The square stone building still rises above a moated enclosure and fishpond, preserving the shape of a home that became a farmhouse after its noble residents left. It remains a Grade I listed scheduled monument, waiting for a decision about how to keep its roofless walls standing.

Wattlesborough Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Shropshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Wattlesborough Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Montalt family, who were prominent in the region during the medieval period. It is remembered as a strategic stronghold in the borderlands between England and Wales, reflecting the turbulent history of the Welsh Marches.
