Now known as 'Jane Austen's House Museum', this late 15th or early 16th century property was a farm house until 1769, when it was bought by Thomas Knight to become part of his estate and was a pub called the New Inn until it became home to the manager of the estate. Jane's brother Edward had been adopted by the childless Knight family (and he changed his name to Knight), and as he had inherited the property he let the women live rent free here until Jane's sister Cassandra's death in 1845, after which it was divided into three cottages for farm workers.
