Baynard's Castle is a Norman castle of which only fragmentary remains survive in the City of London. The site was originally established in the late eleventh century by the Baynard family, who were prominent Norman landholders, and the castle subsequently passed through various aristocratic hands during the medieval period. The surviving fabric consists of a section of flint and stone walling, the remains of what was once a more substantial fortified structure positioned to command the Thames frontage. Following the Tudor period, the site was progressively built over and developed, leaving only these archaeological traces of its former defensive importance.
