Broughton Castle, Medieval fortified manor house in Banbury, England
The castle stands on an artificial island encircled by broad moats, constructed from local Hornton ironstone with defensive structures and battlements.
The castle core dates from 1306, with the gatehouse added in the fifteenth century and substantial modifications completed during the 1550s.
The Great Hall displays significant portraits of William of Wykeham and William Fiennes, with a mid-eighteenth century plaster ceiling above the fireplace.
Visitors can access the castle, gardens, and tearoom on Wednesdays, Sundays, and Bank Holiday Mondays between 2 PM and 5 PM.
The castle remains the residence of the Fiennes family, who have maintained ownership through the female line since 1377 and male line since 1447.
