A Very Long Life
Timothy the tortoise was about 160 years old when he died at his home near Exeter in November
2005. Timothy, whose early life was spent at sea, was thought to be the oldest resident in Britain at
the time.
He was found by a British naval officer, Captain John Courtenay Everard, on a Portuguese ship in
1854. Everard, who was a relative of the Earl of Devon, adopted him and he became the mascot
on a succession of British ships for nearly forty years. In 1892 he went to live at Powderham
Castle, which is the historic home of the Earls of Devon, and in 1935 he was given a permanent
home in the castle’s rose garden.
Throughout his long life, Timothy showed a keen instinct for survival. During the second world war,
for example, he felt the vibrations from the bombs that the Germans were dropping on Exeter and
made his own air-raid shelter under some steps. He was also very healthy, never needing to see a
vet until the last year of his life.
At the time of his death, Timothy was owned by Lady Gabrielle Courtenay, who is the aunt of the
current Earl of Devon. Lady Devon also lives at Powderham, where Timothy was given a family
funeral and was buried in the grounds of the castle.
