Corfe Castle
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corfe Castle is a small village and ruined castle () dating back to the 11th century, situated in a gap in the Purbeck Hills, five miles south of Wareham, in Dorset, England.
[edit] The castle
The oldest surviving structure on the castle site dates to the 11th century, although there are good reasons to suppose that there was a stronghold there before the Norman Conquest. Edward the Martyr was killed at the site on March 18, 978.
