Chawton House is stunning, a beautiful example of a 16th century English manor house. I will be sharing photos, memories and my heritage throughout 2025, here on my Substack :)

A really interesting post. I have just searched for Mays Buildings in St Martins Lane. There is a lot of information. Happy Christmas to you and your family, Tony

Hello Tony! Nice to hear from you. Yes, there is a lot of info about Mays Buildings, I read it when I was researching my book. I will visit one of these days, when I'm in London. Happy Christmas xx

This was most enjoyable. It's amazing to think what it must have been like to live and explore the same home and walk the same lawns that Jane Austen walked. I'm sure most people would agree that we all learn so much from this article. I can't imagine how special it must have been to celebrate holidays and everyday family life in Chawton House. Thanks for sharing this. Chris Julian

Thank you. It is amazing and I still have to pinch myself, to have shared the same home as Jane Austen! There is no one else I would prefer to call family. She is a very good role model for a young girl, I couldn't be more grateful for growing up at Chawton House.
