Excerpt from The Story of Corfe Castle, and of Many Who Have Lived There: Collected From Ancient Chronicles and Records; Also From the Private Memoirs of a Family Resident There in the Time of the Civil Wars Whatever may have been the size or construction of this castle in the days of King Alfred, it was greatly ex tended and embellished in the century next following, under the direction of the magnificent King Edgar.
