Odell Castle, Medieval castle in Odell, England.
The stone fortress stands on an oval motte supported by a retaining wall, incorporating elements from different construction periods across centuries.
Walter de Flandrensis received the land grant from William the Conqueror in 1068 and constructed the original motte-and-bailey castle with a stone keep.
The castle grounds connect to All Saints Church, where Peter Bulkeley served as rector before founding Concord, Massachusetts in New England.
The current manor house, built in 1962, uses stones from the original castle structure and remains under private ownership of Lord Luke.
The ghost of Sir Rowland Alston reportedly rides around his former estate every century after being exorcised by local clergymen.
