Uppercross is located in Somersetshire. Mr. and Mrs. Musgrove, the parents of Charles, Louisa and Henrietta, live in the Great House at Uppercross. Charles and Mary live in the Uppercross cottage. The cottage was a quarter mile off from the Great House. “Uppercross was a moderate-sized village, which a few years back had been completely in the old English style, containing only two houses superior in appearance to those of the yeomen and the labourers” (Chapter 5). Anne spends much of her time at Uppercross cottage with Mary.

moreJane Austen moved to the town of Winchester which is about 17 miles away from her home in Chawton, with her siblings Cassandra and Henry. She was in search of medical treatment for an illness that she had been dealing with for over a year, but she ended up passing away in Winchester on July, 18, 1817. She was buried in the north aisle of Winchester Cathedral, and can still be visited today.
