POWDERHAM (St. Clement), a '''parish''', in the union of St. Thomas, hundred of Exminster, Wonford and S. divisions of Devon, 7 miles (S. E. by S.) from Exeter. Powderham Castle and grounds, the ancient seat of the Courtenays, earls of Devon, are delightfully situated on an acclivity rising from the western bank of the navigable river Exe. The present drawing-room was once a '''chapel''', and the new music room was built partly on the site of another '''chapel'''. The church, an ancient edifice with a square tower, contains a wooden screen. Lewis, Samuel A., A Topographical Dictionary of England (1848), pp. 605-609. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=51222 | |||
