In 1900 a memorial window to Jane Austen was erected in Winchester Cathedral – the result of a public subscription:-
In the head of the window is a figure of St. Augustine. In the centre
of the upper row of lights is David with his harp; below his figure, in Latin, are the words:-
"Remember in the Lord JANE AUSTEN
who died July 18, A.D. 1817."
In the centre of the bottom row of lights is the figure of St. John, and the remaining figures are those
of the sons of Korah carrying scrolls, with sentences in Latin, indicative of the religious side of Jane Austen's character:-
"Come ye children, hearken unto me:
I will teach you the fear of the Lord."
"Them that are meek shall He guide in judgement,
and such as are gentle them shall He teach His way."
"My mouth shall speak of wisdom
and my heart shall muse on understanding."
"My mouth shall daily speak of Thy righteousness
and Thy salvation."
