Wormegay Castle, Medieval castle in Norfolk, England.
The motte of Wormegay Castle rises 5 meters high with a base measuring 77 meters by 62 meters, surrounded by 15-meter wide ditches.
After the Norman Conquest, Hermer de Ferrers constructed Wormegay Castle, which remained under family control until 1166, functioning as a regional administrative center.
The castle structure demonstrates the Norman influence on English architecture, serving as the central point for feudal properties across East Anglia.
The remnants of the castle include a bailey measuring 150 meters by 88 meters, elevated one meter from ground level.
The castle controlled a strategic causeway across the Fens, providing castle-guard duties to Norwich Castle through its elevated position.
