Sutton Valence Castle [1]
Sutton Valence Castle is a ruined medieval fortification overlooking a strategic route to the coast. Built in the later 12th century, there was probably an inner and an outer bailey and a barbican, with a keep. Given by King Henry III to his half-brother William de Valence in 1265, from whom the castle takes its current name, it was abandoned in the early 14th century and fell into ruin. Now in the care of English Heritage. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1186956 A Scheduled Ancient Monument with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1013537
