It is located in Wade Abbas - a fictional town elevated to city status by the presence of Wade Minster, a Cathedral . The books were initially set in a mythical landscape taking in elements from all over southern Britain , from Sussex to Pembrokeshire , and it has been claimed that Forest based Wade Minster on Chichester Cathedral . However, it later became clear that they were set in a fictionalised version of Dorset , and as such Wade Abbas appears to be based on Wimborne Minster , although the actual Minster in that town is not a cathedral, and so Wimborne is not a city. It might also be based partially on Wells - in one of the later Marlow books, ''The Attic Term'' ( 1976 ), there is a Hippie settlement in the town, which might well genuinely have happened in Wells because of its proximity to Glastonbury . However, the "Abbas" in the name of the town suggests strongly that the writer had Dorset in mind. It should be pointed out that there is a real Boarding School just outside Wimborne - Canford School , formerly boys-only and now co-educational. |
