About Castle
What are the main landmarks in Castle?
Merton Hall carries the age here. The New Hall Art Collection sits within the ward, while St Augustine's Church, Marshall House and The Stone House mark the building that followed along Madingley Road and Storey's Way. The End House is listed too.
Castle Mound remains the one piece of ground every visitor climbs, and 83, Castle Street keeps its protected frontage below.
What is the history of Castle?
Castle Mound is where this ward begins. Cambridge Castle held the high ground at Castle Mound before it went, and the name outlived the walls, passing to the streets and finally to the ward drawn across Castle Hill. Merton Hall survived the change.
Later houses filled Storey's Way and Madingley Road, and the ground settled into a suburb of Cambridge, England.
Where is Castle?
Castle Hill lifts this ward above the rest of Cambridge, and Castle Street, Madingley Road and Storey's Way carry its housing out from the crown.
