The present day site—set in a T-shape[2]—comprises a two-storey solar and half of the hall to the east of that, both with open timber roofs;[1] the foundations of the west range and an extension of the hall are now visible only as earthworks.[5] The house is unusual among its class of building in retaining many of its original features;[5] this despite having undergone many alterations during its 600-year history.[2] It has been described as having "perhaps the most spectacular manor house interior in Dorset."[1] In the sixteenth century the solar wing was extended to the north and the hall remodeled by architect Thomas White and his wife Anne;[1] the house remained in the White family until at least the time of Charles I.[5] After the Restoration, it was bought by Sir Thomas Freke and retained by his descendants, the Pitt-Rivers family; they reduced the length of the hall by {{convert|2|m|ft}}, it having previously extended almost to the River Stour, and added a new fireplace and ceiling.[5] By 1956, however, the 18th-century building had been demolished and the original, 14th-century part was derelict; by 1962, only the northern wing remained habitable, and the original section passed into state ownership.[5] The house underwent restoration during the 1970s by the Department for the Environment—now the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|last=Newman|first=John|title=The Buildings of England: Dorset|year=1985|publisher=Penguin Books|location=Harmondsworth|isbn=0-14-071044-2|edition=Reprinted.|author2=Pevsner, Nikolaus|pages=408–9}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=History and Research: Fiddleford Manor|url=http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/fiddleford-manor/history-and-research/|publisher=English Heritage|accessdate=12 April 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Prices and Opening Times for Fiddleford Manor|url=http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/fiddleford-manor/prices-and-opening-times|publisher=English Heritage|accessdate=12 April 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Fiddleford Manor|url=http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/fiddleford-manor/|publisher=English Heritage|accessdate=12 April 2013}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 {{NHLE|desc=Fiddleford Manner|num=1013372|accessdate=12 April 2013}} External links{{Commons category}}
