More about this scene

This is a place of pilgrimage for admirers of Hardy. The church and graveyard have been immortalised in his poems and novels. The church is small, and dates from Norman times, with many later additions. In recent years the choir gallery has been replaced; there is a memorial to Hardy's grandfather, father and uncle, who played in the choir band in the original gallery. The band was the inspiration for his novel 'Under the Greenwood Tree'.
