"New" Corfe Castle is centred on a small network of leafy suburban style streets to the south of the historic old village. Battle Mead no doubt commemorates the castle's role in the Civil War when it was a Royalist stronghold besieged by Parliament forces. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corfe_Castle This area looks to have been an old orchard at one time.
