St Edward's Church in Corfe Castle. The church is dedicated to King Edward who was murdered in the castle in 979 reputedly under the orders of his step-mother so that her son Ethelred the Unready would become King.
The church was built on the site where Edward's body was brought to be laid out - allegedly he site of a blind woman's cottage.
The original church was built in the 13th century but all of it except the tower was rebuilt in 1859
