Wattlesborough Castle

Wattlesborough Tower is a ruined fortified 13th century manor house or Tower House in Shropshire. It is situated close to the boundary with the Montgomeryshire in Wales. Wattlesborough is a former township within the present parish of Alberbury. The castle is a Grade 1 listed scheduled monument. The Tower comprises a square two storey tower above an undercroft surrounded by a moated enclosure with a fishpond. The Leighton family inherited Wattlesborugh in 1471 and used it as their chief residence until circa 1711. At that time an adjoining farm building was constructed and named Wattlesborough Hall.
