1968

From 1968 to 2004, Brown's principal residence was in the Wiltshire village of Bowerchalke.

When she took part in the BBC Radio 4 programme Kaleidoscope, explaining how hard it was to play her signature piece The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams, she said that the singing of larks she heard during long walks on nearby Marleycombe Down influenced the way she played it.
