This charming little village located in Hampshire would probably go unnoticed by most travelers if it weren't for the fact that the famous English author Jane Austen (1775 - 1817) lived there from 1809 to 1817 and wrote some of her most celebrated novels in a lovely cottage house located at the heart of the village. There isn't much to see and do in Chawton but this won't stop true Jane Austen fans (like myself) from making the trip to England's countryside to visit the home of one of Britain's most beloved writers. |

Good tips and nice photos of Chawton. I come from Hampshire and so know it very well. I love Jane Austen's novels too. She also spent part of her life in Southampton, where you can walk a Jane Austen trail. | BTMonica Mon Jul 21, 2008 15:47 UTC
I've never heard of Chawton, and I'm not sure if I ever honestly want to visit the town. It looks very creepy. | MikeDarcy Sun Jul 13, 2008 13:28 UTC
This village reminds me of the opening setting of the Movie Werewolf in London. I am huge admirer of everything English-especially what I consider to be one of the world's greatest institutions: the English Pub! | Joseph69 Tue Jan 23, 2007 01:46 UTC
I thought I'd checkout a different page today... Baaaaaaa! The Greyfriar is so typical of England eh? I love these old pubs in little towns/villages. I wish I can be there now enjoying a beer and watching football (EPL) on the TV. Nice pics too. Joe. ;) |
