and Mr. W. H. STOKES

Astley is the "Knebley" church of _Mr. Gilfil's Love Story_--"a wonderful
little church, with a checkered pavement which had once rung to the iron
tread of military monks." (ch. 1).

"Adam Bede."

53d. Corley Hall farm, gates

Mr. A. W. HOARE

"Evidently that gate is never opened; . . . and if it were opened, it
is so rusty, that the force necessary to turn it on its hinges would
be likely to pull down the square stone-built pillars, to the
detriment of the two stone lionesses which grin with a doubtful
carnivorous affability above a coat of arms, surmounting each of the
pillars."--_Adam Bede_, ch. 6.

53e. Corley Hall farm, row of walnut trees

Mr. A. W. HOARE

"That grand double row of walnut trees on the right-hand of the
enclosure."--_Adam Bede_, ch. 6.

"Silas Marner."

54-55. Bulkington, single hand-loom at

Mr. A. W. HOARE

Bulkington is possibly the village George Eliot had in mind in describing
Raveloe (_Silas Marner_). The photographs show a hand-loom used in Silas
Marner's day.
