Greasley Castle is a fortified manor house of late medieval date located in Greasley, Nottinghamshire. The castle consists of the remains of a stone-built structure that represents the domestic aspirations of a substantial landowning family during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The site preserves evidence of a moated enclosure typical of the period, reflecting both the practical and symbolic functions of medieval fortification at the manorial level. As a documented example of late medieval defensive architecture in the East Midlands, Greasley Castle contributes to understanding the evolution of fortified residences during the transition from fully military strongholds to more domestically focused elite dwellings.
