Sherborne Castle (aka Sherborne New Castle) is a 16th-century Tudor mansion near Sherborne, Dorset. It was originally built by Sir Walter Raleigh as Sherborne Lodge around 1592. In the 1620s, Sir John Digby added four wings in an architectural style similar to the original, forming the mansion now known as Sherborne Castle. The grounds were laid out in the early and mid 18th century. The ruins of the building now known as Sherborne Old Castle lie in the grounds. This was constructed in the 12th century as the fortified palace of Roger de Caen, Bishop of Salisbury and Chancellor of England. The site is within the council area of Dorset.
