Summary

Description
English: Court House - Corfe Mullen Just to the north of the busy A31 in a quiet backwater, stands the surviving wing of a large C16 house. It was built by Robert Phelips around 1540, and as its name implies, it was where the local courts of justice were held. He was the MP for Poole, having been returned twice, once in 1512 and again in 1529. In 1533 he had attended the Coronation of Henry VIII's second Queen, Ann Boleyn. The manor and house eventually passed by descent through the Phelips' family until 1747. By 1806, after a period of neglect, the estate was divided, and Court House was then sold to a local landowner, the Hon. John Coventry. During the 1850s his son Frederick demolished the central and western parts of the house, leaving only the wing that exists today - a manor house in miniature. Inside, there is an original Tudor fireplace, a Tudor staircase, Italianate plaster ceilings on both floors, and the mullion windows still retain their original fittings. Grade II* Listed.
