Part of the Jane Austen weekend at The Governor's House, the tea is open to the public. Although this is English afternoon tea made populaer during the Victorian Era with scones, jam, clotted cream, finger sandwiches, and tea cakes, there will be readings and discussion of tea the way Jane Austen would have enjoyed it during the Regency Period.
