Sleaford Castle is a Norman castle situated in Lincolnshire, dating to the twelfth century. The site consists of substantial earthwork remains forming a motte-and-bailey fortification, with the motte representing the primary defensive feature. The castle was built by the bishops of Lincoln and served as an important ecclesiastical stronghold in medieval Lincolnshire. Though the castle declined in significance after the medieval period, the earthwork remains survive as testament to Norman military architecture and the strategic ambitions of the Church in the East Midlands.
