What we see today, a warm, golden building, is essentially Norman, the magnificent fan vaulting of the nave, like the cladding of the piers, disguising the early date of this lovely church's core. Some of the Abbey buildings are incoporated in the school, which adjoins the church. The fifteenth-century almshouses, to the south-west of the church, should be seen for their original stained glass, and for a superb near-contemporary triptych, probably German, behind the altar in the chapel. Elsewhere, Sherborne can offer buildings of every century from the sixteenth onward. Just outside the town are two castles - the older one medieval and ruined ('slighted' in the Civil War, like Corfe, by its Parliamentary captors), and the later one that Sir Walter Raleigh built' as a gentleman's residence. This was added to by later owners, and one of them had Capability Brown landscape the park. We see it now as he intended - an embellishment worthy of the town whose name it carries.
