English: Sleaford Castle earthworks: Earthworks and scant remains of Sleaford Castle, built between 1123 and 1139 by Bishop Alexander of Lincoln as a base for the Bishops estates in Sleaford and surrounding area. King John spent one of the last nights of his life here after the loss of his baggage train and jewels in the Wash in October 1216. The castle's decline to its current state began in the 16th century.
