Not long after setting off for West Bay from Bridport town centre, I came across the beautiful St. Mary's church.
Have just read that parts of the church date back to the 13th-15th centuries.
Moreover, in 1860, John Hicks of Dorchester did restoration work on the church, with Thomas Hardy having been on his staff at the time. Thus, there's a strong possibility that Hardy participated in the restoration work at St. Mary's.
Near St. Mary's, I also passed the local Quaker meeting place:
Have just read that like St. Mary's and the Town Hall, the Quaker meeting house is a listed building. All this shows that Bridport is a great photogenic place, of course.
