Description
Freckenham Castle | Eastern England | Castles, Forts and Battles
Freckenham Castle was a motte-and-bailey fortification built by the Bishop of Rochester to secure a key nodal point and to warn off rival claimants. The site later became a palace for the bishop and oversaw the valuable economic activity of the manor. The castle had fallen out of use by the fourteenth century but the site remained church property until the reformation.
