Hello all,
I wonder if anyone can help me? I'm writing a piece which requires me to know the layout of Max Gate. Nothing detailed, just a basic plan; where rooms are in relation to each other, about what size the rooms are. I can't get to the house myself, unfortunately. Any format containing the information would be useful; web-sites, books, etc. I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thomas Wihte. tom2244@hotmail.com

Thomas, I don't have the current e-address of Andrew Leah, the current
occupant of Max Gate at hand, but if you send your query to the Hardy
Society UK at:
info@hardysociety.org
I am sure you will be able to contact him, or someone else who can help you
with that information.
Best Wishes,
Betty Cortus

Dear Thomas
Floorplans mapping the changes Hardy made to Max Gate are included in
Chalfont, Fran."Hardy's Residences and Lodgings : Part Two" The Thomas Hardy Journal 9.1 (Feb 1993):41-61.
This article can also be found in
Page, Norman (ed) Thomas Hardy : Family History
Volume One p.41-61
No room sizes but it will probably be helpful,
