Weeting Castle (Remains) It was built around 1180 by Hugh de Plais, and comprised a three-storey tower, a substantial hall, and a service block, with a separate kitchen positioned near the house. A moat was later dug around the site in the 13th century. The house was not fortified, although it drew on architectural features typically found in castles of the period.

Weeting Castle ceased to be used in the late 14th century and fell into decay.
