You can find Deane, drawn fairly accurately, about a third of the way down the map, and over on the left. You can see a circle for the "village" and a drawing of a cluster of "houses" around the church, on a sort of corner of a triangular road. You can see Steventon, directly to the south but not, I think, Cheesedown farm, which George Austen took over after a few years, thus adding a bit to his income. Deane today is remarkably unchanged. It's still a little cluster of houses and a church, on a sort of corner of the road. The Deane Gate Inn, where the London coach stopped, is still there, too, and Cheesedown farm. A remarkably quiet little backwater, in fact, with some nice Georgian architecture and some cottages with roses around the door..... | |
