What is recorded here

Village of Corfe Castle from within the castle is a castle, fort or tower in Dorset, England. Perhaps the stones remember the weight of boots and the smell of wet wool. Maybe the walls still hold the heat of hands that built them. Imagine a room where shadow and breath remain long after the person leaves.

A named place photographed at this map point in Dorset.

Corfe Castle in Dorset was built by William the Conqueror's supporter, Roger de Montgomery, in the 11th century, and later held by the powerful earls of Cornwall. It is remembered for its strategic importance in the English Civil War, when it was deliberately destroyed by parliamentary forces in 1649.
