Excerpt from Scenes and Characters From the Works of George Eliot: A Series of Illustrations by Eminent Artists Shepperton church' With these two words George Eliot begins her first work of fiction The Sad Fortunes of the Rev. Amos Barton, and to Shepperton, therefore, we think should be assigned a special place of honour. It is not a purely imaginary sketch, but, like so many of George Eliot's best descriptions, is a reminiscence of her early days. Indeed, it was to this very church that, in the year 1819, one Mr. Robert Evans, of Ashery Farm, took his seven days' old infant to be baptized in the homely name of Mary Anne. The church may still be found at Chilvers Coton, a village near her early home, where the incumbent used to preach sermons shrewdly compounded of High Church doctrines and Low Church Evangelicanism, and where the little flight of steps with a wooden rail runs up the outer wall and leads to the school children's gallery.
