Hemyock Castle is a medieval fortified manor house situated in Devon, South West England, with origins in the 15th century. The castle was constructed by the Dinham family and later came under the ownership of the Courtenay family, reflecting its significance as a gentry stronghold during the late medieval period. The surviving structure comprises a quadrangular stone-built fortress with towers at its corners and a gatehouse, representing a characteristic example of the military domestic architecture of its era. The site has been substantially modified over subsequent centuries but retains important architectural features that illustrate its evolution from a defensive stronghold to a residential mansion.
