Lavendon Castle, Medieval castle remains in Lavendon, England.
The castle grounds contain earthwork formations that outline the structure of a former motte-and-bailey fortress with an enclosed courtyard for domestic buildings.
Built during the Norman period, the castle belonged to the Bidun family and later the Pevers, with evidence documented in a pipe roll from 1192.
The castle site represents the Norman influence on English military architecture and demonstrates the organizational patterns of medieval defensive structures in Buckinghamshire.
Located at coordinates 52.1799, -0.660441, the castle remains are accessible through Castle Farm, where visitors can examine the surviving earthworks.
The original motte was destroyed in 1944, revealing substantial 12th-century pottery collections that provided insights into medieval daily life.
