In augustus 1796 bracht Jane Austen haar eerste bezoek aan Goodnestone Park, het huis van Sir Brook Bridges, 3rd Baronet, en zijn vrouw Fanny (geboren Fowler), die de ouders waren van de vrouw van haar broer Edward, Elizabeth. Sinds hun huwelijk in 1791 woonden Edward en Elizabeth in Rowling, een landhuis op een steenworp afstand van Goodnestone Park.

Coastal house where Jane Austen stayed goes on the market for £1.5million.

 

Sea Tree House in Lyme Regis, Dorset, is that dream come true – and it has a history that want-to-be writers will love.

That history: Jane Austen stayed in the Grade II listed property in 1804, during its time as a boarding house, and its thought the iconic views over Cobb may have inspired Persuasion.

We're thrilled to begin work to restore the roof at Jane Austen's House!

 

We’re thrilled that the roof is to be restored after we were awarded a grant by Historic England and Historic Houses Foundation from the second round of the Heritage Stimulus Fund, part of the Government’s Culture Recovery Fund. The grant, coupled with support from Hampshire County Council and generous donations from our fans and supporters, has enabled us to begin the critical job of restoring and protecting Jane Austen’s precious home.

The roof was last refurbished in 1948 before the House opened to the public. Over 70 years on and over a million visitors later, major repairs are required to ensure the watertightness of the building and preserve the museum collection.

Jane Austen’s House is among 142 historic sites across England to receive grants worth £35 million through the government’s Culture Recovery Fund. Jane Austen’s House Director Lizzie Dunford said: “It is truly excellent news that Jane Austen’s House has been awarded this grant. Thanks to this support, alongside that of Hampshire County Council and the thousands of people across the globe who have donated to our fundraising campaign, we can now restore the roof which sheltered Austen as she created some of the greatest masterpieces of English Literature and protect her treasured belongings and inspirational home for future generations.” Read all: janeaustens/janes-roof-saved
