Gidleigh Castle was the manor house of the manor of Gidleigh on the north-eastern edge of Dartmoor, about two miles north-west of the town of Chagford, Devon, England.
The Prouz family had held the manor of Gidleigh from at least the later half of the 12th century. The castle was probably built by Sir William Prouz, the last of the senior male line of the family. He died in 1316, leaving a sole daughter and heiress Alice Prouz , who married Sir Roger de Moels , thought to have been brother of John de Moels, 1st Baron Moels. By Roger, Alice left three daughters and co-heiresses who divided Alice's extensive inheritance, including Gidleigh manor and its castle. Gidley would pass to one of these, Alice de Moels, wife of John Daumarle .
