==Description==
===History===
The house was built for [John Damer](/source/John_Damer_(1720%E2%80%931783)) 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.<ref name=listing/><ref name=bho>[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]. British History Online. Retrieved 7 October 2021.</ref>

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](/source/Charles_Fowler). A library was also established at that time and other minor changes were made. There have otherwise been few alterations.<ref name=bho/><ref>[http://www.camehouse.co.uk/house-and-estate/ "The House and Estate"] Came House.
