Description: BERRY POMEROY CASTLE 1811 J.Storer Engraving rom a drawing by E. Dayes Measuring 10 x 7cm Overall Page Measurement: 16 x 9.25cm EXCELLENT Condition ”Berry Pomeroy Castle, a Tudor mansion within the walls of an earlier castle, is near the village of Berry Pomeroy, in South Devon, England. It was built in the late 15th century by the Pomeroy family which had held the land since the 11th century. By 1547 the family was in financial difficulties and sold the lands to Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset. Apart from a short period of forfeit to the Crown after Edward's execution, the castle has remained in the Seymour family ever since, although it was abandoned in the late 17th century when the fourth baronet moved to Wiltshire. After lying in ruins for a hundred years, in the 19th century the castle became celebrated as an example of the "picturesque", and it became a popular tourist attraction, a status which it retains today—aided by its reputation of being haunted.” BERRY POMEROY CASTLE, Devon - 1811 J.Storer Engraving rom a drawing by E.
