St. Mary Abbots is a church Hardy visited in 1888. His entry in the Life--in which he recorded in detail a fanciful impression of the service he witnessed there--is quoted in an editor's note in The Thomas Hardy Journal 19.2 (May, 2003): 13. This web page provides a distant view of the church spire and has links to pictures of "The Present Church Building" (the exterior) and "The Cathedral-like Interior."
EVALUATION AND SUMMARY:
Useful for providing a visual context for Hardy's entry.
