The Norman Motte and Bailey castle at Laughton en le Morthen is thought to have been constructed on the site of the Hall of the Saxon lord Earl Edwin following the conquest of England in 1066 and the award of Laughton to the Norman lord Roger de Busli (EH Scheduling Record legal description). The outer bailey of the monument continues to the north and east of the scheduled area and has been reused as an extension to the graveyard. Ryder (1982, 77) has speculated that All Saints church may have been re-sited c.20m to the east at the time of construction of these earthworks, its original site being partly within this polygon. The monument is currently within the garden of 'Church Corner' a rubble built late 17th century house (EH Listed building legal description). Uncertain legibility of pre-conquest possibilities.
