At the beginning of chapter 11 (when Jane is 18), it is noted that the George Inn in Millcote had prints of George III, the Prince of Wales (later George IV), and the death of Wolfe. George III reigned from 1760 to 1820, his son was born in 1762, and General Wolfe died in 1759. So that year cannot be any earlier than about 1780 (they are unlikely t...
Later in chapter 11, Adèle states that she was brought over to Britain "in a great ship with a chimney that smoked".

Then, on November 5th in chapter 32 (when she would be aged 19), Jane is given a newly published book Marmionwhich appeared on 22 February, 1808.

If Morton is in the Peak District, it must be in the north or the midlands, such as Bradf...
There is also strong evidence in a couple of asides that the story is set well before the time of writing (1847). In chapter 10, there is the line: Charlotte is here addressing her readers in 1847 but referring to an earlier date, presumably decades before when desired "accomplishments" (ie. skills such as music, mathematics, drawing, etc) would ha...
