Bishop Christopher Herbert discusses his book on Revd Henry Austen, Jane Austen’s favoured brother and hardworking curate at St Andrew’s

Bishop Christopher Herbert will be sharing the story behind his latest book, a vivid exploration of the life and times of the Revd Henry Austen who is widely considered Jane Austen’s favourite brother. For eight years, Henry served as curate at St Andrew’s Church in Farnham, where he appears to have shouldered all of the hard work.
