Castle Green Project

CASTLE GREEN

As shown on the map below, Castle Green is a D-shaped open field  forming part of the Sulgrave Castle scheduled ancient monument, which is adjacent to Sulgrave Church. The field has been used informally as a recreation area for many years and is now owned by the Parish Council. Much needed improvements to the area have been completed, mainly funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, with contributions from Northamptonshire County Council, South Northants Council, English Heritage and the Alan Evans Memorial Trust (Details below). See Annual Report 2011.

Full details of the background to the acquisition of the Green and the preparation of an improvement project and management scheme can be seen here.
