Croft Castle

A building has been on the site from the 11th century and it has from this time been the home of the Croft family. The Battle of Mortimer's Cross took place on Croft lands nearby in 1461 in which the Crofts took part in, fighting for the Yorkist cause. The present building originated as a castle in the 14th century and has been much altered since. It now consists of a stone quadrangular manor house with a small castellated round tower at each corner and a small square tower flanking the north side. The castle is under the care of the National Trust and members of the Croft family still live within it. (Wikipeadia).

The extra photos show the chapel that is dedicated to St.Michael and dates to the 13th century. And the green house that was built in 1908.
