Castlethorpe Castle

Castlethorpe Castle stood in the village of Castlethorpe, to the north of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. This was originally a motte and bailey castle with a timber structure built by Winemar, the Flemish Lord of Hanslope in the 12th Century. It was at that time known as Hanslope Castle. The castle

was destroyed in 1215 by Faulkes de Breauté during the First Barons' War and was never rebuilt. It is a scheduled monument, although only earthworks remain, with no traces of masonry.
