BARBARA PYM ON HER VISIT TO CHAWTON
11 August, 1969. Visit to Jane Austen’s house. . . . I put my hand down on Jane’s desk and bring it up covered with dust. Oh that some of her genius might rub off on me! One would have imagined the devoted female custodian going round with her duster at least every other day. Then to the site of Steventon Rectory, the place of her birth—now a field overgrown with nettles and docks. We went into Steventon Church—very cool inside. Steventon Manor is deserted and overgrown, not beautiful but sad, almost romantic. Such enormous beech trees and that silence—a few miles away the road from Basingstoke to London and the traffic roaring by.
