Old Manor Farmhouse - Wimborne
The county of Dorset is always full of surprises. It might be difficult to imagine that this old farmhouse is set almost in the heart of Wimborne's town centre, and adjacent to a small industrial estate, but it's a fact! The house has its origins in the C16, when it was built as a moated house. A portion of the moat still survives, part of which can be seen in the foreground, in front of the garden wall. During the C17 the house was partly rebuilt, and enlarged in the C18 and C19. The construction is an early example of local brickwork with stone detailing. The unseen north gable is timber framed. Grade II* Listed.

Wimborne Minster: former Leigh Park Post Office
This post office here was open from late 1931 to 12 November 2003. It was replaced by some other kind of shop but now appears to be a business run perhaps from home, rather than a shop as such.
