umm.. you're going to celebrate the anniversary of her death on July 17th? She didn't die on the 17th, she died on the 18th of July in the year 1817. Regardless, I'd rather commemorate her birth. I don't know why people celebrate the anniversary of someone's death. Never made any sense to me.
Below is a jpg of the tombstone at Winchester Cathedral.

I apologise for the misprint of the date. It is now ammended.
We are not 'celebrating' the death of Jane Austen. We are 'commemorating' the anniversary of her death, and with that, celebrating the fact that she lived and provided us with so much joy through her novels.
Thanks very much for the picture of the tombstone.
Have you ever visited it? It is well worth the visit, particularly for the inscription written by her brothers about their wonderful sister.
Thank you very much Rachel for the post, and our new friend for the correction. Yes, we commemorate - not celebrate - Jane Austen's death. And we will celebrate Jane's birthday next December too; last Dec I was very busy, didn't have time, my apology.
