| Wallingford Castle Wallingford Castle was an impressive stone motte and bailey fortress, founded by Robert D'Oyley. Built in the Norman layout of two baileys, with the motte between them, it was demolished in the 17th Century, leaving the 16th-century Collegiate Church of St Nicholas. The castle grounds (including the remains of St Nicholas College, two sections of castle wall and the motte hill) are now open to the public. |
