In Bedford, England, there formerly stood Bedford Castle, a sizable medieval fortress. The fortress, which Henry I built after 1100, was a key player in both the First Barons' War and the Civil War of the Anarchy. Although the ultimate design of the castle is yet unknown, it was extensively expanded in stone. Following a dispute with Falkes de Breauté, Henry III of England besieged the fortress in 1224. The eight-week siege required an army of up to 2,700 soldiers and equipment gathered from all around England. The king ordered the castle's destruction following its capitulation (slighting). The castle remained a ruin until Bedford's urban growth in the 19th century, when residences were built across much of the property, despite being partially refortified in the 17th century during the English Civil War. Only a portion of the motte is visible now; it is a part of an archaeological park that was erected there between 2007 and 2009.

Henry, I most likely constructed Bedford Castle in the town of Bedford, which overlooks the River Great Ouse, after 1100. Many of the older Anglo-Saxon streets had to be dismantled and rerouted in order to make way for the castle, which permanently altered the formal grid system. The castle was built inside the town itself. The motte and bailey-styled castle, which only had the motte and the inner bailey, was presumably considerably smaller than the latter structure. The royal castle keeper in the early 12th century was Simon de Beauchamp, the son of Hugh de Beauchamp, who had assisted in the conquest of England in 1066.

The castle remained a ruin until Bedford's urban growth in the 19th century, when residences were built across much of the property, despite being partially refortified in the 17th century during the English Civil War. Only a portion of the motte is visible now; it is a part of an archaeological park that was constructed there between 2007 and 2009. One of the lime kilns from the castle, which was initially rediscovered in 1973, and the castle's hall foundations were both integrated into the park.

Only the bottom of the motte, which is 49 meters (161 feet) broad at the top and 7.5 meters (25 feet) high, remains at Bedford Castle. It is a recognized landmark. Archaeological work has been done to better understand the castle's past, despite the fact that excavations are difficult given the site's urban environment. Excavations between 1969 and 1972 revealed the general shape of the castle; these were complemented by additional work in 1995–1996 and a subsequent round of excavations in 2007. In response to the 2007 discoveries, an archaeological park was built on a piece of the castle site between 2007 and 2009, acting as the hub of a mixed-use neighborhood that also contains restaurants and apartments.
