St. Juliot church in early spring

This church in North Cornwall is famous for its association with Thomas Hardy. Before he became a famous poet and author he was an architect, and in 1870 was assigned to survey this church prior to its restoration. While there he met his future wife, Emma Gifford, who was the sister-in-law of the vicar. This church owes much to his efforts, as it was in a terrible state before he arrived. There are many similarities (and some differences) between his real-life circumstances and those in his book “A Pair of Blue Eyes”.
