URPoint Details
Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice is primarily set in Hertfordshire. The town of 'Meryton' is either Hertford or Hemelstead, based on how far Mr Collins travels from Watford on the post, in either an easterly or westerly direction. The former location places the Bennet family home of 'Longbourn' as the town of Ware.
