This is really fascinating! I had only seen this castle in "Bedknobs and Broomsticks," but had no idea of the rest of its history lol

I have traced my family back as far as Corfe Castle but this was 1882, I need more info to go back further. It is exciting to walk in places my great grand father walked as a young lad.

[@historyworks19]

Wow that's amazing! My grandfather was brought up in the Purbeck area but more recently compared to 1882. Thanks for sharing!

[@CoinCollector]

Thanks for subscribing to me! Just found your channel, it looks really good. Corfe Castle is one of my favourite castles as well; been meaning to visit it again with my drone at some point!

[@historyworks19]

Thank you very much to you too, Glad you enjoy it! I’m finding your channel very interesting as well, I myself am into coin collecting though my collection isn’t as large and incredible as yours. I was also Hoping to go back to Corfe once life is back to normal.

[@CoinCollector]

@@historyworks19 Great to hear you like coin collecting! Thanks I have been collecting for a few years now. I mainly purchase my coins from coin fairs but they have all been cancelled last year which was really annoying, but hope to get some more interesting coins this year!

[@historyworks19]

@@CoinCollectorhey that’s cool, the few coins that I do have are from the early 20th century, though I do have one Celtic coin and have recently bought an Elizabeth the 1st silver hammered which is how I came across your channel. :)

[@CoinCollector]

@@historyworks19 The Celtic coin sounds nice. Elizabeth I coins are a great place to start collecting. Being a uni student my budget is obviously limited but I find you can get nice silver hammered English coins for very reasonable prices.

[@historyworks19]

@@CoinCollector Yes I’m very happy with both those coins, I think I need to collect some more Medieval English coins as they’re my favourite.

[@ImpishlyDevious]

Amazing! Thanks!

[@historyworks19]

Thank you for watching!

[@3158David]

Really enjoyed your presentation but at 7.16, lead is used as shot not gunpowder.

[@historyworks19]

Oops my mistake, thanks for pointing that out.

[@3158David]

No problem, keep up the good work.

[@joshm3119]

My father and I used to go here regularly. Funny, because as it happens our ancestor John Maltravers was constable of corfe castle and one of the two accused of having Edward the 2nd killed. Crazy what you can learn 🤣

[@simon-oy6um]

Lead turned into gunpowder ???

[@mileswillis9020]

Lol

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Whitewashing castles was common in those days.

[@Mark28644]

Was this amazing structure slighted after the 1st English Civil War? Hence it being a ruin today?

[@historyworks19]

Correct, it was slighted in March of 1645 by order of Parliament.

[@Mark28644]

@@historyworks19 Thanks for the info. It's most appreciated, indeed. It's a really beautiful castle, despite it being a ruin. Sadly, Kenilworth Castle, not far from me, was slighted after the 1st English Civil War, too, I believe. A lovely castle all the same, though.🙂🙂👍👍
