Woolbridge Manor-Wool Dorset-140420 (2)
Thank you everyone for all the favs, views, messages & comments. The communication at this time even via the internet is a real bonus.
This photo was taken on the 14 April near my home on my permitted daily lockdown walk.
Woolbridge Manor Wool Dorset is just minutes from where I live.
Originally built in the 12th century and owned by the Turberville family. Under the pen of Thomas Hardy it becomes Wellbridge, where Tess Clare (née Durbeyfield) spends her disastrous wedding night. In Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Hardy refers to a tradition that a phantom coach drives up to Woolbridge Manor by night, but can only be seen by members of the Turberville family.
English Heritage have designated it a grade II listed building. It is not open to the public.
