Childhood Home in Steventon

This is Steventon Rectory, where Jane grew up. Her father served the local parishes of Steventon and Deane. Her home rose three stories high—a rectangular block with dormer windows poking from the roof. Most people would not have guessed that seven small bedrooms populated the second floor, and there were rooms for student boarders in the attic.

In addition to the seven children who grew up in the house, Jane's father usually had 3-4 students whom he tutored during the school year.
