Number 3 Cheap Street, now used as offices, was built as a house in, probably, the 16th century. The ground floor is of plastered stone, the upper floor is timber framed with plaster infill and is jettied, all under a plain tile roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1152076 Sherborne is a market town in northwest Dorset, on the north bank of the River Yeo and Astride the A30 road. It is some 5 miles east of Yeovil and about 16¾ miles north of Dorchester. The town was named scir burne by the Saxons, a name meaning "clear stream", after a brook that runs through the centre of the town, and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Sherborne Abbey, otherwise the Abbey Church of St. Mary the Virgin has been a Saxon cathedral, a Benedictine abbey church, and, since 1539, a parish church.
