What is recorded here
Tiverton Castle - The south-east tower is a castle, fort or tower in Mid Devon, England. Perhaps it watched the valley for centuries before becoming a shadow in the grass. Maybe its stones still hold the heat of hands that built them. Imagine standing inside the ruin, listening for footsteps that never stopped falling.

Tiverton Castle, including its south-east tower, was originally built by the de Tavetot family in the 12th century and later held by the Courtenay Earls of Devon. It is important as a historic stronghold associated with major medieval families and as an example of early military architecture in Devon.
