In 1809 Jane moved to Chawton village, near Alton, Hampshire, to live in a large cottage with her sister and mother. This cottage was owned by her brother, Edward. It was part of his estate, Chawton House. The house is just a short walk from the cottage.

The cottage is now the 'Jane Austen Museum', and is a must for all Austen fans.
