'''Sarum''' is a historic home located at [[Newport, Charles County, Maryland]], US. The oldest extant part of the house was built in 1717 by Joseph Pile on or near the site of his grandfather's 17th century house.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Stone |first1=Garry Wheeler |title=THE KEY-YEAR DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL PATTERN FOR THE OAKS OF MARYLAND'S WESTERN SHORE 1570-1980|url=https://mht.maryland.gov/secure/medusa/PDF/Charles/CH-15.pdf|website=Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties|publisher=Maryland Historical Trust|accessdate=19 April 2019}}</ref> It was a box-framed hall and parlor dwelling, 32 by 18 feet. A shed was added in 1736; later in the 1800s the ends were extended and new walls of brick were constructed giving the house its present dimensions. Sarum was patented to John Pile in 1662, and remained in the ownership of the Pile family until 1836. It is one of Maryland's finest small [[American colonial architecture|Colonial]] dwellings.<ref name="mht_ihp">{{cite web|url=https://mht.maryland.gov/secure/medusa/PDF/NR_PDFs/NR-247.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Sarum |date=March 1973|accessdate=2016-01-01 |author=J.
