EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, circa 1910, showcases the enchanting Original Tess Home, also known as Wool House, which served as the inspiration for Wellbridge House in Thomas Hardy's timeless novel, "Tess of the d'Urbervilles." Nestled in the picturesque English countryside, this quintessential thatched-roof dwelling exudes a sense of history and charm. The ivy-covered walls, with their intricate patterns and mossy textures, have weathered the test of time, adding to the house's allure. The surrounding landscape, dotted with trees and lush greenery, further emphasizes the harmony between the house and its natural surroundings. The Original Tess Home, a true architectural gem, is believed to date back to the 16th or 17th century, making it a testament to the rich history and heritage of the region. The house's name is thought to be derived from the Tess family, who were among the early inhabitants of the area. The interior of the house, filled with antique furniture, books, and other period details, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the Original Tess Home invites us to imagine the lives of the characters from Thomas Hardy's novel as they once lived and loved in this idyllic setting. This photograph, a beautiful and evocative reminder of a bygone era, captures the essence of the Original Tess Home and the magic of the English countryside that continues to captivate our imaginations.
