Category:Jane Austen Memorial in Winchester Cathedral

There are three Jane Austen memorials in Winchester Cathedral: Jane Austen lies under the floor of the north aisle of the nave, where you can see her gravestone. The inscription makes no mention of her writing. In 1870, her nephew Edward wrote a memorial to his aunt and used the proceeds to erect a brass plaque on the wall next to her grave. The inscription begins: "Jane Austen, known to many by her writings…". In 1900 a memorial window was added above the plaque.
