Titchmarsh Castle was originally a stone medieval fortified manor house, with an oval curtain wall. In 1304, Sir John Lovel founded the castle, when he was granted licence to crenellate the house. The square platform, with its wide moat, was encased with a thin curtain wall, flanked on the angles by hexagonal towers. Sadly by the late 14th century, the site had been abandoned. 2 miles north is Thorpe Waterville Castle.
