Hedingham Castle may occupy the site of an earlier castle believed to have been built in the late 11th or early 12th century by Aubrey de Vere I, a Norman baron.
The castle was held by the de Vere family until 1625. The castle and estate are now owned by the Lindsay family, who are descendants of the de Veres.
