The castle at Okehampton was established about 1069 as a motte and Bailey structure, and despite some improvements remained small until acquired, by marriage, by the de Courtenay family in the mid 12th century. For nearly 400 years the place was gradually enlarged and improved, as its purpose changed from defensive to residential, before a gradual decay after abandonment in the mid-16th century.
