Summary
| Description |
English: Baconsthorpe Castle - view across the moat Towards the inner gatehouse. The wall at left forms part of the former textile factory, the outer gatehouse can be seen in the background. This view was taken in southerly direction.
Viewed from the public footpath leading past here. Baconsthorpe Castle, now in ruins, is a moated and fortified 15th-century manor house which was owned by the Heydon family, who eventually abandoned it. Sir John Heydon is believed to have built the inner gatehouse and curtain wall during the Wars of the Roses, and it was Sir Christopher Heydon who converted part of the house into a textile factory. He also added the turreted outer gateway which was inhabited until 1920. |
