Historic England’s Post

This majestic tower keep is one of the most significant Norman buildings in England. 😍 Hedingham Castle in Essex was built in the 12th century by Aubrey de Vere, the first Earl of Oxford and grandson of one of William the Conqueror’s most important knights. The castle has recently been added to our #HeritageAtRisk Register as the keep is at risk of decay due to problems caused by water leakage, which could lead to long-term damage.

This was such a stunning castle to visit, especially with the knowledge of the tour guide. Beautiful knowing there is a room you can book for an overnight stay which includes access to the castle at night! Isobel Heinze
