Bury Castle, Medieval fortified manor house in Bury, England.
The remains of Bury Castle feature stone walls measuring 2.3 meters in width and a moat extending 14 meters on the exposed south side.
Sir Thomas Pilkington received permission from King Edward IV in 1469 to transform his residence into a fortified structure with defensive walls and turrets.
The archaeological findings from Bury Castle, including pottery, leather items, and a stone cannonball, are displayed at Bury Museum for educational purposes.
The castle ruins remain accessible throughout the year, with restored sections and information panels explaining the layout of the medieval fortification.
The discovery of preserved leather objects from the 1600s at Bury Castle provides direct evidence of the local wool industry during that period.
