Jane Austen drafts Susan, the earliest version of Northanger Abbey.
Jane Austen's father, Reverend George Austen, was rector at St. Nicholas Church, Steventon, from 1765 until his death in 1805. Jane Austen was baptized in the church on 5 April 1776 and attended services here for 25 years. For more about "Austen Family Churches," see the linked webpage at the JASNA website.
