Ms Place, I learn more from a single one of your articles than I do from about five trips to a museum (or about 100 other blog articles). Wherever you turn you gaze just springs to life. Some of us do appreciate this.

Thanks for mentioning my continuing labor of love, Jane Austen’s Life and Works in Google Earth. I have been working on this project for two years; while I am not certain that I have captured every single location related to Jane, I’ve added quite a few of them.

The direct link to where my project is hosted on the ‘official’ Google Earth Community is:

I’m always eager to learn of more locations!

Oh, yes, a post on windows would be good! I imagine the price of glass started to fall during the 19th century so more of the middle class could have had bigger windows but I wonder how many older Tudor-style building were retrofitted with larger windows.

Hi Eric, Persuasion with Amanda Root showed dark interiors lit only by candle light. Your comment about glass is very astute. One thing I have noticed is that during that era houses built in the cities were categorized as 2, 3, or 4 windows wide, as well as by how tall they were. You’ve given me a great idea for another post. Thanks.

Great post! I don’t remember another film before Cranford depicting quite how dark it was. And you mention large windows to get as much daylight as possible but, of course, glass was so expensive that I think many people still had fairly small windows compared to today.

Finally watched episode one yesterday! Loved it! So moving and funny! I was laughing hysterically at the beginning when Mrs. Jamieson is being carried around in that chair and she’s chasing after Miss Pole and Mrs. Forrester! And it’s amazing how quickly you come to care about these characters; I was really touched when they donated the candles and when Miss Jenkyns decided to walk behind the casket. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Please can someone tell me the name of the poem recited by Judi Dench towards the end of episode 2. of Cranford.
It was in a book given to her by her suitor.

And the name of the poet.
Thank you
Suzanne
