Marnhull

The scattered village of Marnhull claims to be the largest parish in England, spread over a substantial area with a circumference of 23 miles. The village itself is well worth exploring for its part-Norman St Gregory’s church with a fine 15th century tower, and who knows what you might find along Sodom Lane? This now-prosperous village appears in Tess of the d’Urbervilles as ‘Marlott’, the birthplace of the heroine. The thatched Tess’s Cottage (private, but visible from the lane) is supposedly the house Hardy had in mind, while the Crown Inn (also thatched) is still recognisable as the ‘Pure Drop Inn’ in the same novel.
