Allington Castle dates from the 13th century when Stephen de Penchester and his wife were granted a licence to embattle their manor house at Allington. Much of it was ruined by the early 20th century and by 1929 it had been rebuilt. In 1951 Allington Castle was bought by the Carmelites. This is the gatehouse on Castle Road. It also looks very much restored.
