Winchester Cathedral, Jane Austen’s final resting place, will have an exhibition on her life and work from 10 April through 20 September 2010. From the press release:

The exhibition, which will document Jane’s home and social life, will be supported by a mix of permanent and rolling exhibits borrowed from collections around the world. From 10 April until 20 September items from Winchester Cathedral’s and Winchester College’s archives will be on display. Some of these items have rarely, if ever, been displayed publicly before and include her burial register, first editions and fragments of Jane’s own writing.

Guided tours, specific exhibitions and talks will take visitors through her life and works to mark her legacy and set the stage for Jane’s bicentenary. Stand out events are:

• 1 May: Special Evensong to mark Jane Austen’s life, and place in the Cathedral’s history
• 16-18 July: Jane Austen Weekend (including Regency Dinner) which coincides with the Jane Austen Society AGM
• 5-6 August: Outside theatre production of Pride and Prejudice
• Extended tours which take visitors beyond the Cathedral to see Jane’s final home just beyond the Cathedral Inner Close.

For those in the UK, or just visiting, this looks like something you must check out!
