part of the current structure dates back to the original, but there have been various alterations since that time. Ashe Park is not a Listed building. Other architecture in the area, associated in some manner with Austen, includes Deane House (where Jane met Tom LeFroy), Ashe Rectory (home of the LeFroys), Oakley Hall (where she visited Wither and Mary Bramston), the railway Viaduct and The Wheatsheaf Hotel (where she collected the mail). The home of her brother, Edward Austen Knight, known as Chawton House, is roughly 16 miles from Steventon. The Victorian Steventon Manor (built in 1877) which replaced an early Norman building was destroyed by fire in 1932. It was replaced by an Elizabethan manor which was demolished in 1970 after being vandalized. The site is now covered by the M3 highway. Governance The village is a civil parish and part of the Overton, Laverstoke and Steventon ward of Basingstoke and Deane borough council. The borough council is a Non-metropolitan district of Hampshire County Council. References External links Steventon Civil parishes in Basingstoke and Deane Places associated with Jane Austen
