FIDDLEFORD MANOR HOUSE

Fiddleford Manor House is a small, stone, medieval, manor house in North Dorset. It was built in c1370 by William Latimer, sheriff of Somerset and Dorset and, notwithstanding time and many alterations to the building, has a number of surviving features. There is an interesting solar, with a wonderful timbered roof the remnants of a wall painting of the Annunciation. The hall, though a little shorter than it once was, also has an impressive roof - and an attractive 16th C gallery.

The nearest town, Sturminster Newton, is just over a mile away on foot.
