Summary

Description
English: Dunster Castle and gatehouse, 19th century remodelling. The huge stone sculpted heraldic achievement above the new main entrance door to the castle is that of George Fownes Luttrell (1826–1910), built as part of his remodelling. It shows the arms of Luttrell impaling Hood, the arms of his wife Anne Elizabeth Periam Hood (d.1917), youngest daughter of Sir Alexander Hood, 2nd Baronet. The supporters are two Bohun Swans, evoking the descent of the Luttrell family of Dunster from the Bohun family via the Courtenay family. Sir Andrew Luttrell (d.1378/81) of Chilton, in the parish of Thorverton, Devon, married Elizabeth Courtenay (d.1395), widow of Sir John de Vere, son of the Earl of Oxford, and a daughter of Hugh de Courtenay, 2nd Earl of Devon (1303–1377) by his wife Margaret de Bohun (d.1391), eldest surviving daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford, by Elizabeth, daughter of King Edward I. In 1374 Elizabeth Luttrell purchased the reversion of Dunster Castle and manor, the manors of Minehead and Kilton, and the hundred of Carhampton from Lady Mohun, the wife of Sir John V de Mohun, 2nd Baron Mohun (c.1320–1375), feudal baron of Dunster. Dunster Castle continued to be held by her descendants until 1976.
