Arthur Thomas Corfe

Arthur Thomas Corfe (9 April 1773 – 28 January 1863) was an English organist, composer, and Master of Choristers of Salisbury Cathedral for fifty eight years.

In 1783 he became a chorister of Westminster Abbey under Benjamin Cooke, and for some time studied the piano under Muzio Clementi.

In 1804 he succeeded his father as organist of the cathedral, and in 1813 The Gentleman's Magazine reported that he had got the choir into a state of remarkable perfection.

His eldest son, John Davis (1804–1876), was organist of Bristol Cathedral for more than fifty years.
