A new curator is appointed for Jane Austen House museum - Entertainments - Petersfield Post
Jane Austen’s House Museum in Chawton has announced the appointment of Louise West as its new curator.
Louise, who has been employed at Jane Austen’s House Museum for the past eight and a half years, previously held the position of education and collections manager.
In this role Louise has developed the award winning education programme and has been closely involved with the recent lottery funded redevelopment.
The appointment of a new curator is in anticipation of the retirement of Tom Carpenter who has held the post since the mid 90s. Mr Carpenter’s grandfather, Mr T J Carpenter, bought Jane Austen’s House in 1949 and established the Jane Austen Memorial Trust which runs the museum.
Louise said, “I am looking forward to taking the museum forward in what is a very exciting period for Austen lovers.
“The next few years see the bicentenaries of all of her novels, either written or revised at this house.
“I feel proud and honoured to be leading the staff at the home of Jane Austen at this important time.”
