in which the author of _Persuasion_ lived, for a brief period before
her death, stands beyond the college gate. Above the door is a wooden
tablet recording that here Jane Austen spent her last days, dying July
18, 1817. She had previously resided at Chawton for some eight years,
but her house in the village is now a Workmen's Club. At the same time,
Chawton is a pretty little spot, watered by land springs, known locally
as "lavants"; while some few miles away is Farrington, where Gilbert
White, of "Selborne" fame, was curate.

Other literary associations of the Winchester country are those
furnished by Hursley, where John Keble was vicar; by Otterbourne, the
home for many years of Charlotte Yonge; and by Eversley, where
Winchester's immortal son, Charles Kingsley, lies buried.

Each succeeding visit to Winchester can only strengthen one's love for
the city, and one's reverence for the Cathedral in its midst. Our
pilgrimage of Winchester the beautiful is over.
