Thorpe Waterville Castle was a medieval fortified manor house near Thorpe Waterville, Northamptonshire, England.
Thorpe Waterville Castle was built by Walter Langton, the bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, around 1300.[1] The wood for the castle was stolen by Langton from the woods of a nearby abbey.[2] The result was a luxurious fortified home.[3] While owned by Lord Lovell, the castle was successfully besieged in early 1461 during the Wars of the Roses.[4]
The hall of the castle was later converted into a barn, and still survives in this form, complete with a distinctive 14th-century chimney.[5] Today, the remains of castle have scheduled monument status and a grade I listed building.[6]
