Hotels in Alton

The Jane Austen Museum is housed in a charming red-brick seventeenth house, listed in the National Archives as a building of historic interest. It was Jane's last home, where she lived with her mother and sister Cassandra from 1809 until 1817.

Here Jane revised her earlier manuscript novels Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Northanger Abbey, and then wrote Mansfield Park, Emma and Persuasion.
