Hallaton Castle
Hallaton Castle was situated to the west of the village of Hallaton, which lies some 20 km to the south-east of the city of Leicester. It seems likely that the castle formed the administrative centre of an estate owned by Geoffrey Alselin, which is described in the Domesday Book of 1086, pinpointing the construction of the castle happening before 1086 but after 1066.
