Plaque at Jane Austen's home
This plaque, seen in situ here SU7037 : Jane Austen's home, says:
"Jane Austen lived here from 1809-1817 and hence all her works were sent into the world. Her admirers in this country and in America have united to erect this tablet. Such art as hers can never grow old"
Not strictly true, because the first drafts of three of her novels were written before she came to Chawton.
