The last castle to be built in England, borrowing styles from the medieval and Tudor periods

Castle Drogo was the last castle to be built in England between, 1911 and 1930 by Julius Drewe, the founder of Home and Colonial Stores. Architect Edwin Lutyens built the castle of granite on the edge of Dartmoor near Drewsteignton, Devon. It comprises of a three-storey main block with a four-storey family and service wing to the side. The main block comprises of the hall, library, dining room and drawing room. The castle represents only one third of the building originally planned, but these plans were abandoned after WWI and the death of Drewe's eldest son.
