Revellers Inn, Little Hintock

Source of photograph: The Woodlanders in the Anniversary Edition of the Wessex Novels, 1920, based in part on previous editions and the photographs of 1912. Facing page 408.

"Revels Farm was once a posting-house, but is now a farmhouse. It suggested Revellers Inn in the story. It was for this inn that Tim and Suke and the wedding party were bound when Fitzpiers met them" [These remarks by the anonymous editors often seem to be based on Thomas Hardy's Wessex (1913) by Herman Lea -- PVA].
