context_page_description: Tiverton Castle is the remains of a medieval castle dismantled after the Civil War and thereafter converted in the 17th century into a country house. It occupies a defensive position above the banks of the River Exe at Tiverton in Devon.
context_section_description: In about 1605 Sir Reynell Mohun sold his quarter share to Mr John West (d.1630),  a Tiverton merchant, whose monument exists in Tiverton Church. The West family had also purchased the Trelawney share. It appears that the Wests lived in the Castle until it was dismantled after the Civil War,  but part was later rebuilt by the Wests for their residence.
