Gresham Castle is a medieval castle located south of the village of Gresham in the north of the English county of Norfolk. The medieval castle was actually a fortified manor house.
In 1318, Sir Edmund Bacon granted a licence to crenellate his manor house. Gresham was one of a group of late castles to be fortified or built along the east coast that include Baconsthorpe, Caister, Claxton and Mettingham Castle in Suffolk.
