Woolbridge Manor


"Woolbridge Manor":
Hermann Lea identifies this building with "Wellbridge House," where Angel and Tess went after their wedding. He writes, "It is probable that, of all the scenes which occur throughout the Wessex Novels, no place is so near to reality or so familiar to my readers as this house." (Vol.I, 31)
