Description

In 1939 while Jane's father served in World War II, her mother Vanne took five-year-old Jane and baby sister Judy to live with Jane's grandmother and other family members at The Birches, an 1872 red-brick Victorian house in Bournemouth, England.

Jane spent her childhood at the Birches and continues to live there with family members when she isn't traveling around the world spreading her message of hope.

Not long ago, the Birches' original 1872 slate roof was repaired. You are bidding on a ten-inch wide slate tile removed from a portion of the roof that was above Jane's bedroom at The Birches.

The tile will be autographed by Jane and will come with a display pedestal and a photograph of The Birches.
