Lavendon Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lavendon Castle stood to the north of the village of Lavendon, Buckinghamshire (grid reference SP798446).
A motte or ringwork and bailey were mentioned in a pipe roll of 1192-3. The motte was destroyed in 1944 when much 12th century pottery was found. A farmhouse and garden terracing built in the 17th century have effectively destroyed the former mound and today only earthworks remain.
