In the lovely village of Chawton - great pub and coffee shop

Saint NICHOLAS, Bishop of Myra, to whom the church in Chawton is dedicated, is – alongside Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours in France – one of the most popular saints of all. His feast day in the calendar of saints, December 6th, is probably known to almost every child. On the eve of this day, children used to put their shoes or boots – which had of course been carefully polished – outside the door so that Saint Nicholas could fill them with gifts during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for children to put out a small gift of food for the donkey, Saint Nicholas's mount (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).

Known throughout the world as one of the most important English-language writers of all time, Jane Austen was a pioneer in literature and her six completed novels are still cherished and widely read today. This stunning house in Chawton was her home during the last eight years of her life alongside her sister Cassandra, their mother, and a friend. Part of the Chawton Estate was owned by Jane's brother Edward, but the house was purchased in the 1940s by Mr T. E. Carpenter. He turned it into a museum to Austen and a memorial to his son Phillip, who was killed during the Second World War. You can visit the house, restored to an interior in keeping with Austen's era, and see how she would have lived. The building is Grade-I listed and contains a fascinating collection of Austen's belongings.

Free church to enter with many of the Knight and Austen families buried in the cemetery (Chawton House).
