'The whole of the shrubbery border will soon be very gay with pinks and Sweet Williams in addition to the Columbines already in bloom.' - Letter to Cassandra Austen, 29 May 1811.
The novelist Jane Austen is known worldwide for her popular novels describing the society of pre-industrial England. She spent the last eight years of her life here at Chawton in the 17th century house which is now preserved in her memory. She wrote some of her best and most popular work here. Come and visit us and let us tell you the story of Jane Austen and her family.
The House has seen some major new developments recently - made possible due to a substantial grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. We have a new learning centre at the rear of our garden and the funding is also being used for a wide range of new activities that help interpret of the life and times of Jane Austen.
