Individual Entries
Winchester: Jane passes away in Chawton house on July 18, 1817 (located in Winchester).
Cheltenham: This is where Cassandra takes Jane to seek medical care after her health starts declining.
Carolton House: Jane is invited here by the librarian of Price Regent because the Prince admires her work. He then not so subtly asks her to dedicate her next novel to him, and left with little choice, she reluctantly agrees. This next novel is Emma. (Side note: I find this interesting that they would know who to invite since she published anonymously. But perhaps since he is a Prince and all, they just asked the publisher and her told them.)
Chawton House: Jane, her mother, and Cassandra move here for a more quiet and settled life. (located in Winchester)
Southampton: Jane, her mother, and her sister, as well as their friend and widow Martha Lloyd, move to Southampton to live with Jane's newly married brother Frank.
Manydown Park: Jane and Cassandra visit here in 1806 (I think this might be where her inspiration for Mansfield Park came from. They sound strikingly similar.)
Lyme Regis: Jane and her family spend the summer months here. This is where Persuasion will be based.
London: Jane and her brother Henry travel there to meet with publishers. This is also where Henry and his wife Eliza (Jane’s Cousin—I will explain this in my “extra things I noticed" section after my written report) live and she visits them often.
Bath: Jane visited bath a few times in her life. Before moving to Bath after her father announced his retirement in 1801, she visited her brother James and his wife in 1797, and then travels there again with her mother in 1799. However, after living at 4 Sydney places, Bath for four years, her father, George Austen, suddenly dies in 1805. Due to the fact that women could not inherit from their fathers, Jane, her mother, and Cassandra are left no choice but to move to 40 Gay Street, Bath.
