It was built as a motte and bailey castle in the 12th century by Hugh de Hardreshull in 1125. Robert de Hartshill was killed alongside Simon de Montford in the Battle of Evesham in 1265 and the castle fell into disuse. In 1330, it was rebuilt by John de Hardreshull. In Tudor times a timber framed Manor House was built into the corner. Now all that remains of it is a chimney. The earthworks of the castle and remains of the house are still present. The site is privately owned. In Tudor times before the battle of Bosworth, King Henry VII stayed here.
