Richard's Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard's Castle is a village on the border between Herefordshire and Shropshire in England.
The village is split by the county border, and constitutes two civil parishes, one called Richard's Castle (Hereford), the other called Richard's Castle (Shropshire).
Richard Fitz Scrob (or Fitz Scrope) was a Norman knight granted lands by Edward the Confessor before the Norman Conquest, in Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire as recorded in the Domesday Book. He built Richard's Castle, near Ludlow in Shropshire.
