Jane Austen's travels and social circle in Kent — Kent Archaeological Society

Discover the Kent connections of one of Britain's most beloved novelists at a talk on Jane Austen's travels and social circle in Kent. Kerstin Müller, a qualified tour guide based in Canterbury, leads an engaging and well researched presentation that explores the places Austen visited, the people she encountered and how those journeys informed her writing. The talk mixes local history with literary insight and highlights locations across Kent that still echo with Austenian stories.

The event is presented for Lenham Heritage Society and takes place at Lenham Community Centre, 12 Groom Way, Lenham, ME17 2QT. Kerstin's local expertise and enthusiasm have prompted visiting groups from abroad to request guided tours to the very Kentish sites discussed in the talk, so the session will be especially useful for anyone planning to visit these locations or for readers interested in the real-world backdrop to Austen's work.

Suitable for local history and literature enthusiasts, the illustrated talk is noted for its clear research and lively delivery. Hosted by Lenham Heritage Society, the session is free for society members and children. Join to deepen your appreciation of Jane Austen, learn more about Kentish heritage and find out about opportunities to visit the places featured in the talk.
