Salisbury, England

Salisbury, Regency, England, River Avon, street, house, MompessonThe Governess Tales series, for which I wrote the first book, The Cinderella Governess, begins in Salisbury, England at the fictional Madame Dubois's School for Young Ladies. Our inspiration for the school was the Mompesson House in Salisbury. If you've seen the Emma Thompson version of Sense and Sensibiliy then you will recognize this house as Mrs. Palmer's London residence. It's a museum which is open to the public.




To help you get in the mood for the romance of the series, I've decided to post some pictures of Salisbury from my last trip to England. I hope you find them as inspiring as I did.

I'd really like to get to Salisbury! I love seeing your photos of the cathedral in its rural setting and the shots of the village.
