The remains of Wymondley Castle

Wymondley Castle, also known as Great Wymondley Castle, is a ruined castle in the village of Great Wymondley, near Hitchin in Hertfordshire, England.

It has been seen as being part of a group of unlicensed (adulterine) castles in Hertfordshire, including Pirton and Therfield. The castle was possibly erected by the Argentein family, who were of Norman origin.[1] They were lords of the manor and are associated with St Mary's church near the castle which dates from the 12th century.
