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 12th century and later held by the Courtenays, Earls of Devon. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval moated manor and as evidence of the regional power struggles in Devon during the Middle Ages.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
