Join the JASNA Tour to England this spring and explore Emma and "English verdure, English culture, and English comfort” in the company of fellow JASNA members.
You'll visit houses, towns, and cities that shaped Jane Austen’s life and fiction, including Steventon, Chawton, Winchester, Worthing, Lyme Regis, and Bath, as well as places mentioned in Emma and period estates used in the novel's film adaptations, such as Firle Place (Hartfield in the film Emma, 2020), Loseley Park (Donwell Abbey in Emma, 2009) and Mapperton (Randalls in Emma, 1996 with Gwyneth Paltrow). You will also spend a day in Wiltshire touring two homes featured in Austen adaptations: Stourhead (Pride and Prejudice, 2005) and Wilton House (Donwell Abbey in Emma, 2020 and Pemberley in Pride and Prejudice, 2005). The itinerary also includes visits to villages and towns such as Great Bookham and Leatherhead (considered possible inspirations for Highbury) and Box Hill, where you will visit Denbies Winery.
In Hampshire, visit Jane Austen’s House, Chawton House, St. Nicholas Church in Steventon, St. Nicholas Church in Chawton, and The Vyne. Take part in a memorial ceremony at Jane Austen's grave in Winchester Cathedral and visit the Hampshire Cultural Trust for a talk and the chance to see some of its extensive costume collection.
