Old Grove's Place, Shaston. Source of photograph: Jude The Obscure in the Anniversary Edition of the Wessex Novels, 1920, based in part on previous editions and the photographs of 1912. Facing p. 242.
"Old Grove's Place, the residence of Phillotson and Sue after their marriage, is just beyond Bimport Street, Shaftesbury, near where the roads branch off to Motcombe and East Stower. The house, still to be seen [i. e., in 1912] standing almost opposite the school, is an old house with projecting porch and mullioned windows, dating back from the early part of the sixteenth century." [These remarks by the anonymous editors often seem to be based on Thomas Hardy's Wessex (1913) by Herman Lea -- PVA].
