Our field trip therefore included a visit to both these houses associated with Jane.\u00a0 The students started with a tour of Chawton House. A walk around the house is like stepping back into the early 1800s, the rooms furnished in Georgian style. Afterwards the students visited the museum.\u00a0 There was even time to take a\u00a0 traditional English tea in the local tea shop. During the trip the students were able to try on some 19th century outfits, make lavender bags and write with a quill.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>On the A-Level course, they are studying Jane Austen&#8217;s &#8216;Sense and Sensibility&#8217; .
