Bindon Mill (Thomas Hardy's Wessex)


Would've loved to have seen how Bindon Mill stood on the river properly, but it was private land, and we thought it unwise to proceed any further:


But still, we got a few shots of the Bindon Mill setting from a distance, the previous year, I hadn't managed to do this (after visiting Bindon Abbey).


In 'The Hardy Way: A 19th-Century Pilgrimage', Margaret Marande (2015: 34) reminds her readers that Angel Clare preferred to study agricultural methods "at the Mill rather than be in Tess's company after her confession" about Alec.  Poor Tess, her fate just seemed to be one experience of suffering after another.
