Chawton Church from Memoirs of Jane Austen by Edward Austen-Leigh - 1870, her nephew. The village of Chawton is nowadays invariably linked to the early 19thC novelist Jane Austen. Her brother Edward inherited the Chawton estate, taking the name Knight, and in July 1809 Jane with her mother and sister were offered a home in what is now a museum dedicated to her. Here she revised, or wrote all her novels and during that time worshipped regularly in St. Nicholas and often wrote of the church although because of the fire of 1871, the only part she would recognise today would be the chancel. Jane lodged in Winchester for the last three months of her life for medical attention and was buried in the Cathedral in July 1817. Her mother and sister are buried together near the south wall of this church.. .
