Wallingford
Castle is an impressive stone motte and bailey fortress, found by Robert D'Oyley.
Built in the Norman layout of two baileys, with the motte in-between, it was demolished
in the 17th century, leaving the 16th century Collegiate Church of St Nicholas,
its most prominent remains. Visit pending. 12 miles north-west is Oxford Castle.
