More about this scene

On the extreme left we can just see the tablet that was unveiled in 1917 to mark the centenary of Jane Austen's death; it proclaims that 'Jane Austen lived here 1809-1817 and hence all her works were sent into the world'. It was erected by 'her admirers in this country and in America'.
