What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Hembury Castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Hembury Castle was built by the de Hembury family in the 13th century and later held by the Courtenay family, who were significant landowners in Devon. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval moated manor house and is protected as a scheduled monument due to its historical and architectural value.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
