Full Description
Court House, Corfe Mullen is a short rectangular-shaped building of two storeys and attics with walls of carstone and ashlar in differing depths of courses. The building is a fragment of a larger house built in the latter part of the 16th century, probably by the Philips family; the bulk of the original house being demolished in the mid 19th century. <2>
Court House is a small two-storeyed rectangle, gabled at the short ends, and seems to be part of a manor house once owned by the Philips family. <3>
