Sherborne, Dorset.

Sherborne, Dorset.
Sherborne ~ D'Urberville was formerly the base for the Somerset & Dorset Family History Society for nearly twenty years until their recent successful move to Yeovil. There was much evidence of the buildings former life, with old fireplaces, interesting windows and much more besides, often partly hidden by the necessary bookcases & computer stations. It has now been taken over and renamed D’Urberville, where vintage finds are on sale, together with a café on the top floor. Dramatic changes inside have revealed many beautiful original features.

I wonder if the name has been taken from Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. Apparently the novel was set in the fictional county of Wessex, with more of a nod to Dorset. A really interesting place to visit, Rosa.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Amelia club
Yes definitely Amelia. I watched some of the latest version (a few years ago now) being filmed close by. There are many houses and villages around Sherborne that Hardy renamed in his novels. The road from Sherborne to Dorchester is beautiful and you feel you are in one of his novels ;-)) Thank you for your kind comments and I wish you a good new week.

HBM Rosa and Wessex lives on in many ways, besides Hardy. Once Wessex was a large part of England ~~ Enjoy your week ~ All the best ~~~ Nick

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Nick Weall club
It does indeed Nick. I am a big Hardy fan and remember seeing the first "Far from the Madding Crowd" being filmed on Gold Hill in 1966. Terence Stamp on a horse! I think Winchester was known as the capital of Wessex wasn't it? Thanks for your great comments.

Take care and have a great week ~ Rosa.

I wasn't aware of this place when I used to stay with friends in Sherborne (late 80s and early 90s). It looks very interesting!
A fine shot, Rosa!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Andy Rodker club
It wouldn't have been this colour back then Andy and could have been the Conservative Club at that time. It's a most beautiful building inside and out now.
Thanks for your kind comments and I hope you enjoy the new week.

A wonderful shot, Rosa. So good that it reverted to its original state. The name rang a bell, and then when I read Amelia's comment and your reply, I am almost sure that I'd read the book (I must have it on my Kindle) even though I must admit that I am totally illiterate.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to micritter
Thank you very much Rashid. "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" has one of the saddest endings of Thomas Hardy novels, I think. It was nice that the name rang a bell with you. I have to admit, I have never used a Kindle....I will catch up with technology one day ;-))
