Holdgate Castle


Holdgate Castle is situated in the village of Holdgate between Craven Arms and Bridgnorth, Shropshire.
This castle was mentioned in the Domesday Book. It was a motte and bailey and contained a college of secular clergy which was founded before 1210 and dissolved after 1373. Earthworks with stone foundations are still present and the remains of a 13th-century semicircular flanking tower are incorporated into a farmhouse.
