Kingsland Castle

Kingsland is a small village and civil parish in the English county of Herefordshire. It is located 5 kilometres (3 mi) north-west of Leominster.

The village church was built during the reign of Edward I by Edward, Lord Mortimer and is dedicated to St Michael.[1] To the west of the church are the earthwork remains of a motte-and-bailey castle, known to locals as 'The Mound'.[2] Mortimer Park, located just outside the village, is home to Luctonians Rugby Club who currently play in National League 2 North.
