“Not very far from {{w|Islington}} is the quaint old town of {{w|Puddletown}}, which, I believe, took its name from the de Pydeles, one of those Norman families which came into England with the Conqueror. The church is particularly interesting, being one of the very few unrestored ones in {{w|Dorset|Dorsetshire}}—a county which has suffered terribly at the hands of the {{w|Conservator-restorer|restorer}}. ...If only because Puddletown Church is the church of Mr. Hardy's {{w|Far from the Madding Crowd}}, it should be left untouched.”
