Corfe Castle Parish Council

I was born in Suffolk but came to Corfe aged three weeks at the start of the Second World War. I came to stay with my grandfather and aunt who lived in the house now known as Drury’s on the square. My grandfather was the local doctor and conducted his practice from the courtyard of the house. My parents were living in East Anglia and Corfe was thought to be much safer against possible bombing. I stayed in Corfe for the whole of the war but moved away to live with my parents once hostilities were over. I went to school in Dorset and had a full career in the Royal Air Force serving as an aeronautical and electronic engineer. I returned to Corfe in 1994 after leaving the RAF. I was a district councillor from 2003 till 2006 serving as a Tory member and representing the Castle Ward. I have been a parish councillor since 2011 and served as chairman from 2011 until 2019.
