Everything Jane Austen Challenge - #1 completed


During our 3 weeks in Britain we had the opportunity to visit a number of castles, stately homes and manors courtesy of our Royal Oak Foundation family membership pass.
Two of the houses we visited are featured in "Pride and Prejudice" -Sudbury Hall and Lyme Park. Both were used to re-create parts of Pemberley, Lyme Park for the exterior and lake, Sudbury for interiors.
We also drove round Bath where Jane Austen lived for a while but could not find a parking spot to stop and walk.
We bought two books about the filming of Jane Austen novels for TV and movies and should be finished with them soon. Very interesting.
