Castle Hill, Filleigh
It cuts a fine sight symmetrically spread across the side of a hill. Pevsner remarks that it is a "rare example in the county of an C18 country mansion on the grand scale". A C17th house of the Fortescues was remodelled c1728 by Roger Morris, an arch disciple of Palladianism, with the oversight of Lord Herbert and Lord Burlington, the Palladians' guiding light. Victorian additions were largely removed when the house was reconstructed after a fire in 1935. Grade II* listed.
Atop the hill behind is a sham ruined castle, from whence the house derives its name, perhaps dating from the 1740s. Grade II listed.
The Fortescues are still here, but like many stately homes it has been forced to admit the great unwashed for weddings and other events.

Castle Hill House and sphinxes
...A wide opening to the south is flanked by a pair of C18 lead lions (listed grade II) framing the principal vista. The axis is continued through the three lower terraces by pairs of Irish yew and two pairs of C18 lead sphinxes set on high stone plinths (listed grade II). The design of these ornaments has been linked to those at Chiswick, London (qv) and has been attributed to Cheere (Cherry and Pevsner 1989)...
