On our way home from Winchester, we stopped at Jane Austen's house in Chawton. She lived there for 8 years with her mother and sister Cassandra, and wrote 6 of her novels there.

This is the tiny table, in the dining room, where she did her writing. It's interesting that she did her writing in a "public" room of the house, rather than her bedroom.

First editions of her books were on display:

A room near the exit was devoted to movie and TV adaptations of Austen's novels. Scripts of the 1995 version of P&P, and handwritten notes from a (probably important) person involved in the production are displayed, and can be glimpsed in this video. There are also some photos of members of the cast trying on Regency costumes. And of course the famous yellow tartan from Clueless. The number of adaptations speaks to Austen's enduring popularity.
