Sherborne is the location of two well-known country estates:
- The Vyne is a fine 16th century country house, built by William, Lord Sandys, later the home of the Chute family and now belonging to the National Trust.
- Beaurepaire was another ancient Tudor mansion, since almost entirely rebuilt after a fire in Victorian times. It was the home of the Brocas family for many centuries from the time of Sir Bernard Brocas, the hero of Crécy.
