Wolfeton House (sometimes Wolveton House) is an early Tudor and Elizabethan manor house in Dorset, England.[1][2] It is situated amongst water-meadows north-west of Dorchester not far from the confluence of the rivers Frome and Cerne. It is near to the village of Charminster. The compact original courtyard section of the current building dates back to about 1480. Possibly dating back to Roman times, the house has been the country seat of several families, including the Mohuns and Trenchards.
A Thomas Hardy Dictionary states this house may have been "The Manor-House of the Drenghards" in Hardy's "The Lady Penelope." [3][4]
