About Lavendon Castle
Lavendon Castle is a historic site. Location: Lavendon, Milton Keynes.
Lavendon Castle stood to the north of the village of Lavendon, Buckinghamshire, England. A motte or ringwork and bailey were mentioned in a pipe roll of 1192–3. It was probably built by a member of the Bidun family, and later belonged to the Pevers. The motte was destroyed in 1944 when much 12th-century pottery was found. The castle is believed to have been destroyed around the 1530s.
