Fiddleford Manor, Sturminster Newton, Dorset
Fiddleford is a medieval manor house, completed in about 1370. The manor house has no recorded history, but it was probably built for William Latimer, sheriff of Somerset and Dorset. By the 16th century the house belonged to Thomas and Anne White, who extensively remodelled and enlarged it. Their initials feature on the 16th century stone shields in the passage. The north wing was added in the 16th century and the west wing, behind the solar, in the 18th century. The house is in the care of English Heritage (2011) and part of it can be visited.
