In light of the upcoming sale at Dreweatts auction house entitled 'The Attic Sale: Powderham Castle & Brocklesby Park' (taking place on 3rd June 2025), we are delighted to be joined this week by Charlie Devon (Charles Courtenay, 19th Earl of Devon) to discuss his ancient family seat of Powderham Castle.
The Courtenays, a crusader family who came to England with Eleanor of Aquitaine, have lived at Powderham since the 14th century. The house reads like a biography of domestic English country house architecture over the past 800 years, with each generation of the Courtenay family having added to the existing medieval core.
