Wingfield Castle
Wingfield Castle is a 14th-century fortified manor house in Wingfield, Suffolk, England, long associated with the Wingfield and de la Pole families and now a privately owned Grade I listed building. The site is a roughly square, moated enclosure whose surviving fabric includes a high south curtain wall, a prominent gatehouse with portcullis groove, several tall towers and an internal ward.

As it stood in 1430
The shape it held in its prime.
A roughly square moated enclosure of about 1.5 acres with flint-cobble curtain walls and stone quoins; two main cylindrical towers rising to about 60 ft and octagonal corner towers to about 50 ft punctuate the corners. The south curtain wall stands approximately 42 ft above the moat and is pierced by a noble gatehouse approached by a timber bridge; the gate passage has a deeply recessed depressed pointed arch, portcullis grooves and heavy oak gates. Rooflines are those of a fortified manor rather than a single keep.
