The medieval Knepp Castle is to the west of the village of West Grinstead, in the parish of Shipley, West Sussex, England near the River Adur and the A24. The castle was probably founded by the Braose family in the 12th century. King John confiscated the castle along with the Braose lands in 1208. Knepp was used as a hunting lodge, and John visited the castle several times. He ordered its destruction in both 1215 and 1216 during the First Barons' War.
