Winterborne Herringston, also Winterbourne Herringston, is a small civil parish and hamlet containing about 600 acres in Dorset, England, 1.4 miles south of Dorchester.[1] The only significant structure is Herringston House, a Grade II* listed[2] 14th-century manor house which has been the home of the Williams family since 1513.[1]
The name is derived from the small river Winterborne or Winterbourne[3] and from the family of Herring, the mediaeval owners.[4]
It was originally part of the parish of the abandoned village of Winterborne Farringdon, and from the 17th to the 19th century of Winterborne Came.[5] Ecclesiastically it is now included in the parish of Winterborne Monkton.[6]
