Clare Castle is a medieval castle in the small town of Clare in Suffolk England. Built shortly after the Norman conquest of England by Richard Fitz Gilbert the motte and bailey castle was later improved in stone. In the 14th century the castle was the home of Elizabeth de Clare one of the richest women in England who maintained a substantial household there. The castle passed into the hands of the Crown and by the 16th century was in ruins.
