Walwyns Castle Community Council consists of three parishes, Walwyns Castle, Robeston West and Hasguard.

The first reference to Walwyns Castle Church was in 1291. Walwyns Castle was built within an Iron Age Hill fort by the Normans, and the Church was rebuilt around 1869 to 1878. Today the Church is in good repair with services held there every Sunday. The Village Hall was previously the Village School, which closed in the late 50' s. The Hall is now well used after being substantially renovated in 2004. There is an historic rath overlooking Walwyns Castle. A geo-phys survey was carried out in 2011.

There are pleasant walks in the area around Syke Woods and Rosemoor lake, which normally has wild ducks and Swans making their home there.

Robeston West Church is situated in a rural location, surrounded by mainly agricultural land, the earliest recorded weddings,births and deaths are 1731.

St Peter's Church Hasguard is of medival origin, the Chancel was built in the C19th, the Church closed in 1979, and is now unfortunately a ruin.

Walwyns Castle Community Council meet by-monthly, on the first Wednesday of the month.

**The next meeting scheduled will be 7:30pm, Wednesdy 1st May 2024 at the Village Hall.**
