Nunney Castle in the village of Nunney is a small, French-style castle surrounded by a deep moat, built for Sir John Delamare in 1373. During the English Civil Wars it was damaged by cannon fire. It was never lived in again. Today the moat, walls, and towers are still intact, but the floors and roof have been destroyed. The castle is currently managed by English Heritage, and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
