The real Downton Abbey celebrates Jane Austen

It's one of the most iconic buildings in Britain, made famous by the hugely popular ITV drama Downton Abbey. Now, Highclere Castle, just south of Newbury, is holding a series of events to remember some of the great writers who've been inspired by the venue, which is still a working home for the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon. It's even led to the creation of a new book "At Home at Highclere: entertaining at the real Downton Abbey." Cary Johnston reports (Downton Abbey - courtesy Carnival Films).
