Description
=History=
The house was built for John Damer by Francis Cartwright of Blandford in 1754; after Cartwright's death in 1758, the interior was completed by Vile and Cobb, cabinet makers of London, in 1762. There is a kitchen wing on the east, connected to the house by a passageway.[https://www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/dorset/vol2/pp382-387 "Winterborne Came", in An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in Dorset, Volume 2, South east (London, 1970), pp. 382-387].

In the mid-19th century an entrance with a porch, vestibule and cloakrooms, and a cast-iron domed conservatory, were added on the west side of the house. The conservatory is attributed to the architect Charles Fowler. A library was also established at that time and other minor changes were made. There have otherwise been few alterations.[http://www.camehouse.co.uk/house-and-estate/ "The House and Estate"] Came House.
