Mapperton is a hamlet and civil parish in Dorset, England, 3 miles (4.8 km) south-east of Beaminster.

[2] Listed as Malperetone in the Domesday Book,[3] the name means "farmstead where maple trees grow".

[7] The manor had been owned since the 11th century by only four families (Brett, Morgan, Brodrepp, Compton), all linked by the female line, before it was sold to Ethel Labouchere in 1919.

The house was largely rebuilt in the 1660s by Richard Brodrepp, with the addition of the hall and west front, as well as the dovecote and stable blocks.

In January 2023, they announced plans to open the house for a limited number of private tours.
