6 Quirky Facts About Corfe Mullen
- Early Corfe
The first signs of settlers in the area date back to 3000BC, in the Bronze Age burial mounds were built and the site continued to be inhabited into the Iron Age. By 50BC the Belgae tribe controlled the area until the Roman’s muscled into the South West. Early flint heads, pottery and traces of dwellings have all been found. - Mullen Rouge
The village gets its name from the combination of the old English/Anglo Saxon word for a cutting or pass (the village sits between two hills) and the old French word ‘molyn’ meaning mill. The village was listed as ‘Corf’ in the Domesday book of 1086 and had become ‘Corf Molyn’ by 1176 when it was owned by French speaking Norman rulers. - Doomed
The Domesday Book recorded 28 households with 12 villagers, 12 smallholders and 4 slaves living in the village, which consisted of 10 ploughlands, 7.5 lord’s lands, 102 acres of meadow, 2 leagues of pasture woodland and of course a mill which was valued at the princely sum of one pound. - What Did They Do For Us?
When the Romans showed up they immediately took charge and stamped their authority by building a fortress that stretched 40 acres and close to the old Iron Age hill fort of Bradbury Rings. Under the command of Vespasian, The Roman Second Legion built a number of roads across the region to connect their various strongholds and thus ensure the area remained under their control. - Bloomin’ Lovely!
In the early 20th century Corfe Mullen was a centre for growing violet and lavender which was centred around the aptly named ‘Violet Farm’. Being traditional to the area they are the perfect flowers for any new arrivals redesigning their garden. - Green Winged Orchids
The Corfe Cullen Meadows nature reserve is home to a wide range of insects, animals and plants including the impressive Green Winged Orchids. These rare flowers bloom in May and June attracting a large number of visitors and photographers. - Smuggler’s Lookout
High House was once owned by Isaac Gulliver, a notorious smuggler. It’s said he would keep watch from the top windows for the approach of customs men.
