Winchester Cathedral was already 725 years old when Keats visited. Two years previously Jane Austen had been buried here, although there is no mention of her literary occupation on her tombstone in the north aisle. Keats would walk up and down this aisle reading letters from Fanny Brawne. In 1872 and 1900 respectively a brass plaque and a stained glass window were erected in Austen’s memory.
