More about this scene

The seat of the Courtenays, the Earls of Devon, Powderham Castle was first built on this site in the late 14th century. It was much altered in 1770-88, with interior design by James Wyatt (who also worked on Westminster Abbey and Windsor Castle); it was remodelled extensively by the 10th Earl between 1835 and 1859.
