The Reverend Hutchins conducted a census of Corfe Castle in order to demonstrate to the authorities the utility of such an exercise as an aid to improving the administration of the parish. The census was published in Hutchins “History and Antiquities of the County of Dorset”, Second Edition, and Kim Parker kindly donated a transcription of the full census to the Dorset OPC Project.
The index that follows, and the pdf attached, show the entries for Kingston and surrounding hamlets only.
