The National Trust are the owners of Max Gate, Hardy’s House in Dorchester and his cottage in Higher Bockhampton.
The New Hardy Players work closely with the National Trust in bringing Hardy’s works to life – these shots of characters from this year’s performance “The Return of The Native” are taken in the grounds of Max Gate.
On a very chilly March day the Yeobright Family were photographed in the garden, Mrs Yeobright (Emma Hill), Thomasin (Amelia Chorley), and Clym Yeobright, ‘the Returning Native’, (Toby Ingram).
