Caroline Jane Knight shares more than Jane Austen's name and DNA.
"It was a privilege to grow up at Chawton House on the ancestral estate where my fifth great aunt Jane Austen lived and wrote - and it is a privilege to share my memories and Austen heritage with the ever growing Jane Austen community”
Caroline explored the same places around Chawton House and its grounds as Jane did, dined at the same dining table in the same dining room, read in the same library and shared the same dream of independence. Caroline is now the founder and chair of the Jane Austen Literacy Foundation and runs her own business, The Greyfriar Group.
