Mortain held Montacute after 1066, Drogo was a close partner. The village is built nearly totally of the local hamstone. From the 15th century till the start of the 20th century it created the heart of the estate of the Phelips household of Montacute House.

At the centre of the village is a huge square known as the 'Borough' around which are grouped picturesque cottages and also a pub, the Phelips Arms; there is a 2nd pub as well as resort positioned in the town, called the King's Arms.
