It was not so much destroyed as fell into decline.

After the English civil war part of it was torn down as it had been used by Royalists and they wished to make it unusable. Of course the bulk of it remained but with no money and loss of interest it started to deteriorate. it fell into the corporation of Liverpool's hands and for while the poor used it building shanty like housing in it.

After awhile it was deemed an eyesore. In those days they had little interest in maintaining and restoring buildings such of these so they tore it down and built a church. This church was replaced by a second and then eventually it was replaced by the Victoria memorial we have today.

It was destroyed with rocket launchers?? Certainly an idea but the Castle fell to Parliamentarian Forces during the English Civil war after a member of the Castle staff let the enemy in through a side door. The Castle was then destroyed by gunpowder, to make it unusable. The process is known as 'Slighting'. After the destruction much of the stone work was carried away and many of the houses in Corfe Castle village have stonework from the castle in their construction.
