Acton Burnell Castle is a 13th-century fortified manor house located near the village of Acton Burnell, Shropshire, England. It was built between 1284 and 1293 by Robert Burnell, Bishop of Bath and Wells, who was a friend and advisor to King Edward I. It is believed that the first Parliament of England at which the Commons were fully represented was held here in 1283. Parliaments were also held here in 1285. The castle was built using local red sandstone and replaced an earlier house on the site where Burnell had been born. Today, all that remains of the castle is the outer shell of the manor house and the gable ends of the barn. It is a Grade I listed building of the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. The castle is open to the public and can be accessed via a footpath through a small wood.
