Jane Austen's House is the most treasured Austen site in the world. From this picturesque cottage, deep in the Hampshire countryside, Jane revised, wrote and published her six extraordinary novels, which have been treasured for their wit and innovation for over 200 years.
Here, in the village of Chawton, Hampshire, Jane Austen lived from July 1809 until May 1817. Here her genius flourished, and she wrote or revised and had published her six great novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion.
Today, the House is an independent museum with an astonishing Austen collection. Visitors can walk in Jane Austen’s footsteps, discover objects she knew and loved, and learn about her life and works.
