The Castle Acre Castle was founded shortly after the Norman Conquest in 1066 by William de Warenne, the first Earl of Surrey. It's location was selected due to it's proximity to the crossing point of the Peddar's Way on the River Nar. William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, (died 1088) was one of the Norman nobles who fought at The Battle of Hastings and became great landowners in England. He was a son of Rodulf II de Warenne and Emma and a grandnephew of duchess Gunnor, wife of duke Richard I of Normandy. http://www.castleacre.net/pages/history.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Acre http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Acre_Castle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_de_Warenne,_1st_Earl_of_Surrey
