Dorchester Photographic Memories
Close to the Top o'Town, Dorset's most famous son is commemorated in this life-size bronze statue by Eric Kennington, set on a Portland stone plinth. Unveiled by Sir James Barrie in 1931, the statue shows Hardy seated and dressed for the country, wearing a jacket and leather gaiters, with his hat on his knee. Around the figure are plants and animals, symbolizing Hardy's love for his native countryside.
