   The castle is one of the earliest examples of a uniform castle designed and built without a keep. It was originally surrounded by a large water-filled moat 31 metres (102 ft) wide. The curtain wall was up to 5 metres (16 ft) thick and defended by five D-shaped towers and a twin-towered gate house.

   Bolingbroke Castle was built in about 1220 by Randulph de Blundeville who was the Earl of Chester and Lincoln. We think that there may have been an earlier motte and bailey castle on Dewy Hill to the north of the village. The new Bolingbroke Castle was one of the first to be built without an inner keep.
