Wormegay Castle is a motte and bailey earthwork, located next to the village of Wormegay in the English county of Norfolk. ==Details==
The castle was probably built by Hermer de Ferrers after the Norman Conquest, and remained in the de Ferrers family until 1166.〔Liddiard, p.75; ''(Wormegay Castle )'', Gatehouse website, accessed 26 April 2011.〕 The motte is 5 metres high and 77 metres by 62 metres wide at the base.〔''(Wormegay Castle )'', Gatehouse website, accessed 26 April 2011.〕 The motte is surrounded on three sides by a ditch up to 15 metres wide and 2 metres deep.〔 The bailey is 150 metres by 88 metres across, and raised about 1 metre from the ground.〔 The castle would have been highly visible in early medieval times, more so than in the 21st century, and would have formed a local landmark as well as controlling the local causeway across the Fens.〔Liddiard, p.160; ''(Wormegay Castle )'', Gatehouse website, accessed 26 April 2011.〕 Wormegay formed the centre, or the ''caput'', for an honour of feudal properties across East Anglia.〔Pounds, p.131.〕 As the centre of a major estate, Wormegay provided castle-guard duties to Norwich Castle.〔Liddiard, p.75.〕
