Weeting Castle is an extensively ruined early medieval moated manor house, built in local flint. It was built by Hugh de Plais, a tenant of William de Warenne, the Earl of Surrey (see Castle Acre), in about 1180. It remained the home of the de Plais family until the late 14th century, when the property passed by marriage to the Howards, Earls of Norfolk and was subsequently abandoned.
The site has actually been in use since at least Saxon times. After the hall went out of use, it was incorporated as an ornamental feature within the grounds of the now demolished Weeting Hall and an ice house was built to store ice collected from the moat.
Access off a footpath near the attractive Church of Mary the Virgin.
