Wymondley Castle

It has been seen as being part of a group of unlicensed (adulterine) castles in Hertfordshire, including Pirton and Therfield.

The castle was possibly erected by the Argentein family, who were of Norman origin.

[1] They were lords of the manor and are associated with St Mary's church near the castle which dates from the 12th century.

It is set in a rectangular feature which Historic England describes as a "manorial enclosure".

[2] The remains are protected as an ancient monument, "Great Wymondley Castle: a motte and bailey castle and associated manorial enclosure 20m east of St Mary's Church, Great Wymondley".
