Powderham Castle


Powderham Castle is a fortified manor house situated within the parish and former manor of Powderham, within the former hundred of Exminster, Devon, about south of the city of Exeter and mile (0.4 km) north-east of the village of Kenton, where the main public entrance gates are located.〔There is also an unrelated Powderham Castle (a 12th-century earth and timber ringwork fortress) near Crondall, Farnham.〕
It is situated on flat, formerly marshy ground on the west bank of the River Exe estuary where it is joined by its tributary the River Kenn. On the opposite side of the Exe is the small village of Lympstone. The castle was expanded and altered extensively in the 18th and 19th centuries, most notably by James Wyatt in the 1790s. The castle remains the seat of the Courtenay family, Earls of Devon.
==Origin of the name==
The manor of Powderham is named from the ancient Dutch word polder, and means "the hamlet of the reclaimed marsh-land".
