According to the editors, many of whose remarks seem based on Thomas Hardy's Wessex (1913) by Herman Lea,
Old Grove's Place, the residence of Phillotson and Sue after their marriage, is just beyond Bimport Street, Shaftesbury, near where the roads branch off to Motcombe and East Stower. The house, still to be seen [i. e., in 1912] standing almost opposite the school, is an old house with projecting porch and mullioned windows, dating back from the early part of the sixteenth century."
