Groombridge Place in Kent to be Longbourn filming location
Laura also sent along a link to an article from the BBC saying that the filming location for Longbourn is a country house in Kent.
Groombridge Place, in Kent, has been chosen to be the home of the heroine Elizabeth Bennet and her family.
Location manager for Working Title Films, Adam Richards, said most of the action would take place there.
“The house has immense charm and is untouched by post-17th Century development,” he said.
Filming at the moated manor house, whose gardens are open to the public, got under way on Monday, and will continue throughout most of August.
Hilariously, the article is accompanied by a shot from the wedding scene in the 1995 BBC production of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. The comparisons will never end.
