Visit Chawton House virtually, dawdle away half an hour very comfortably with Clio O'Sullivan, and hear about the story of Jane’s lucky brother Edward, who inherited the ‘Great House’ and provided Jane, her sister and mother the cottage in the village. On the tour, you will see Edward’s portrait, the dining table that Jane would have sat at when she visited, and the beautiful lower reading room that now houses thousands of books by eighteenth-century women writers, currently under protective film during for conservation the closed period. Drink in the views that Austen would have admired across the parkland, and meet the women writers who inspired Jane’s own writing.
Happy 80th Birthday to the Jane Austen Society!
