The castle is mentioned in and is the title of one of Ed Sheeran’s Songs, hence the title of this cache. Framingham is where he was raised as a child. There was an early Mott and Bailey Norman Castle on this site but was destroyed by Henry II. It was then rebuilt by the Earl of Norfolk during the latter part of the 12th century. The Market town also boasts a magnificent church, an awe inspiring college and two of the oldest post boxes that are still in use. The town is worthy of exploring for so many reasons. So why not spend some time walking around the area and not just the castle.
