Powderham Castle
Powderham Castle is a fortified manor house on the west bank of the River Exe estuary in Exminster, Devon, and the ancestral seat of the Courtenay family, Earls of Devon. The fabric began after 1390 and was extensively altered and extended in the 18th and 19th centuries; it is a Grade I listed building and sits within registered parkland.

As it stood in 1860
The shape it held in its prime.
A low-lying castellated complex of grey local stone set on flat parkland beside the Exe estuary. The west front presents crenellated curtain walls and a mid-19th-century gatehouse, with a taller rectangular medieval tower rising behind; a lighter-coloured Victorian dining-hall projection with three pointed Gothic windows sits to the north. A tall flagpole often flies a yellow Courtenay flag. Surrounding the house are lawns, specimen trees, and to the east a former curtain-wall line now occupied by the rose garden.
