Anyone know where Netherfield is supposed to be / what county the Bennets hail from? Many thanks on dd's behalf - she's working very hard on her essay!

Dunno, Pemberley is supposed to be Chatsworth, isn't it? But no idea re. Netherfield. Vaguely suppose it must be Hampshire.

Hampshire possibly?

BecauseImWorthIt · 30/06/2008 21:57

I thought Derbyshire, for some reason

LIZS · 30/06/2008 21:58

Hertfordshire

BecauseImWorthIt · 30/06/2008 21:58

Have googled, and it's Hertfordshire, apparently

See here

Netherfield is supposed to be located in Hertfordshire.

Pemberley was in Derbyshire.

Pemberley is in Derbyshire, Rosings in Kent

I think LIZS has got it, according to this info

We sound like that bit from My Fair Lady: In Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire Hurricanes Hardly Happen

Hertford, I believe, was the inspiration for part of it.
