The kissing gate at the castle’s Westham High Street entrance was torn from its hinges, according to police.

Police officers say vandals entered the area after cutting off a padlock on a second gate.

Daryl Holter, police community support officer, tweeted on Monday, “I visited @EnglishHeritage #Pevenseycastle today after reports of #criminaldamage to gate/locks, all good so far @HeritageCrime.”

Mr Holter conducted a patrol of the area with help from police cadets.
