  • 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. Between 1980 and 1996 the castle was subjected to extensive archaeological excavations that clarified much of its history and overturned beliefs regarding its age and cause of destruction. (en)

  • Il Berry Pomeroy Castle è un maniero in Stile Tudor costruito entro le mura di un castello preesistente nel Devon meridionale. Venne costruito nel tardo XV secolo dalla famiglia Pomeroy che era proprietaria della terra sin dall'XI secolo, quando nel 1547 la famiglia si trovò in difficoltà finanziarie lo vendette a Edward Seymour, I duca di Somerset. A parte il periodo in cui i Seymour vennero privati delle loro proprietà dalla corona a seguito della condanna a morte del Duca il castello rimase nelle loro mani fino al tardo XVII secolo quando Sir Edward Seymour, IV baronetto (1632 o 1633-17 febbraio 1708) andò a stabilirsi nel Wiltshire.Rimasto in rovina per moltissimi anni nel XIX secolo tornò in auge quale modello del Pittoresco e divenne col tempo un'attrazione turistica anche per via della sua fama che lo vuole abitato dai fantasmi. Fra il 1980 e il 1996 è stato fatto oggetto di un importante lavoro di scavi archeologici che hanno portato in luce notizie che hanno ribaltato antiche nozioni circa la sua età e le cause della sua rovina.
