Bolebec Castle is a motte and bailey earthwork located approximately 300 metres west of St John's Church in Buckinghamshire. The site comprises a substantial mound with associated bailey enclosure, representing a typical Norman fortification of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The castle served as a manorial stronghold during the medieval period and is thought to have been constructed during the early Norman settlement of England following 1066.
