Dorset memories

A tiny sketch by Judges 1958 found in Brisbane Charity Shop
I found a delightful pair of sketches beautifully framed 16cm x 11cm - one of the subjects was a skillfully crafted sketch of the Smith's Arms at Godmanstone - almost identically as it appears in the above photo - it was a real place.

Dorset Revisited Photographic Memories
A number of Dorset villages take their name from the River Piddle, or Puddle, as it is sometimes known.

The 'hide' or 'hyde' probably derives either from Hyde Abbey or perhaps from 'hide' - a measure of land.

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.

The river runs alongside the right of the churchyard. The church building includes parts of an 11th-century pre-Norman church, with further additions being spread over the next eight hundred years. In the background is the war memorial and several thatched cottages . The church of St Mary was recently damaged by flooding.
