Mettingham Castle, Medieval fortified manor in Mettingham, England.
The castle features a northern and southern bailey surrounded by water-filled moats, with a preserved flint gatehouse and curtain wall sections.
Sir John de Norwich received permission to fortify his manor house in 1342, transforming it into a defensive structure with multiple moated courts.
The property housed Mettingham College from 1394 to 1542, where secular canons educated young boys following monastic traditions.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds on specific dates in June, July, and August, with prior arrangements required through the property owner.
Archaeological surveys from 2010 revealed foundations within the inner court, suggesting the presence of an earlier tower beneath the current structures.
