Flitwick Castle
Flitwick Castle is a ruined castle in the town of Flitwick in the English county of Bedfordshire .
The small, wooden moth from the 11th century was surrounded by a moat . The castle was mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086 as the property of William Lovet , a Norman . Lovet had driven Alwin , the Anglo-Saxon previous owner of Flitwick, away before the Norman conquest of England .
The earthworks of the castle that have survived to this day are now in a public park called Temple Field or Mount Hill . The trenches were filled in and the mound is now about 7 meters high. Temple Field was named after the nearby St Peter & St Paul Church. The site is now a Scheduled Monument .
