This week the following places have been added toA Jane Austen Gazetteer, Austenonly’s sister site. Do click on the links, below, to be taken to each place’s page, which contain contemporary maps, engravings, a contemporary description( if available) and a list of Jane Austen references to each place.
I know this may seem at first like it is a random choice of places but all will be revealed next week, and it will finally make sense, I promise! In the meantime do enjoy yourselves clicking away at all the links!
