Aydon Castle,

Aydon Castle is a fortified manor house built by Robert de Reymes, a wealthy Suffolk merchant, starting in 1296 AD and consisting of of a two-storeyed home with a solar, dining hall and kitchen on the upper floor. Shortly after, in the early 14th Century de Reymes obtained a licence to crenellate his property and added battlements and curtain walls. The castle was captured by the Scots in 1315 and again in 1346. It was renovated in the mid 16th century and later converted into a farm. The building continued in use as a farm until 1966 but has since been restored to its medieval appearance.

Almost completely intact, it is one of the finest and least altered examples of a 13th century English manor house.
