- Note
- "Chawton House is a grade ll* listed Elizabethan manor house in Hampshire. It is run as a historic property and also houses the research library of The Centre for the Study of Early Women´s Writing, 1600–1830, using the building´s connection with the English novelist Jane Austen.
Chawton House, just outside the village of that name, used to be the home of the writer´s brother, Edward Austen Knight. It remained a private family home into the late twentieth century. At the turn of the millennium it was purchased by a charitable trust, extensively restored, and re-opened as a research centre. The Centre, which runs study programmes in association with the nearby University of Southampton, incorporates a significant library, a collection of over 9000 books and related manuscripts. The house is now open to visitors, as well as library readers, for tours and during public events." - (en.wikipedia.org 15.12.2020) - Latitude
