 History of the Castle: Powderham Castle, Exeter, Devon, England
King Henry VIII created him Earl of Devon in 1511, but he died before his investiture could be completed; nevertheless he was buried “with the honours of an Earl”.
The 13th Earl was eighty years old when he succeeded his nephew, and decided to continue to live in the Rectory (which he had built) and let the Castle to a family called Bradshaw.
His brother, the youngest of the three grandsons of the 13th Earl, succeeded to the Earldom, but only outlived his brother by four months, dying in June 1935 when he was succeeded by his only surviving son, Christopher, the 17th Earl, who was then aged 18.
