Dorset: Stinsford: Poets' Graves (Thomas Hardy, Cecil Day Lewis); St Michael's, Stinsford; After "The Madding Crowd"; Blossom and Hourglass







"Thomas Hardy's heart is buried here, and his tombstone which also contains the remains of his two wives, together with other family tombstones are on the left of the path leading to the Church. The Church is the 'Mellstock Church' so lovingly described in 'Under the Greenwood Tree'. The tombstone of the former Poet Laureate, Cecil Day Lewis stands in the same line".
