Chawton House was the home of Jane Austen’s brother, Edward Austen Knight. It’s a fascinating story of how this property has stayed in the Knight family for over 400 years, and how it has such close ties to Jane Austen who visited this property regularly when Edward was in residence. Chawton House is located in the already famous village of Chawton, as it’s where Jane Austen lived in her later life, in a home provided by Edward on the estate.
Learn about the Knight family, tour the house and gardens with us, and see where Jane Austen would have walked and found inspiration for her novels. It’s also here in the peaceful church that her mother and sister both called Cassandra are laid to rest.
