Back in March I travelled down to Winchester for a week, in part because visiting some Jane Austen related sites has long been on my bucket list, but also because I got an insanely cheap deal on train tickets. Unfortunately Jane Austen’s House was closed for refurbishment (but you can see a photo of the outside further down) – this includes things like her writing desk so I will be back at some point. But within the same village is Chawton House where she spent a lot of her time – it belonged to Austen’s brother Edward and is still owned by his descendents (though run via the Chawton House Trust as a charity).
