Jane Austen


Born: 1775
Died: 1817
One of England’s most famous writers, much of her inspiration came from visiting and taking holidays in the South West. Her first novel, ‘Sense and Sensibility’ was set around Upton Pyne, about 4 miles from Exeter. The novel was turned into a film in 1995 and filming took place at Saltram House in Plympton, the village church at Berry Pomeroy, Compton Castle near Paignton, Mothercombe in South Devon and the historic cobbled streets of Plymouth’s Barbican.
