Wolfeton House is a fine early Tudor and Elizabethan manor house set in water-meadows near the confluence of the rivers Frome and Cerne. The building is a substantial remnant of the house built by the Trenchards, once one of the leading families in Dorset. The estate passed to John Trenchard by marriage in 1480. He and his son, Thomas Trenchard, built a compact courtyard house on the site. In the late-16th century Sir George Trenchard extended the south range and embellished the building. He added the splendid plaster ceilings, fireplaces and panelling dating from around 1580.
