Langdon Court, Devon

Juhel in turn granted both parts of Langdon to one of his knights named Waldin[4] During the reign of King Henry III (1216–1272) Langdon was held by the Pipard family[1] and then by the great Courtenay family, Earls of Devon.

This family held the estate for nearly 200 years, with the last Courtenay being Marquis of Exeter who in 1538 was beheaded for treason by King Henry VIII.

This was probably due to his opposition to Henry's break with Rome and the creation of the Church of England during the Pilgrimage of Grace uprising.

[9] On Richard Cory's death in 1904 the estate was broken up and Mrs. Kenyon-Slaney bought the house and 10 acres (40,000 m2) of land.

After the war Langdon Court was purchased by the City Council of Plymouth and used as a children's convalescent home.
