mr Collins is a clergyman although in the novel he is never portrayed as doing his job
im pretty sure
Lady Catherine De Bourgh owned it and later married Mr Collins.
Mr. Collins is a clergyman, which means he is a member of the clergy or church. He serves as a parson in the fictional world of "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen.
Elizabeth accompanies Sir William Lucas and his daughter to Hunsford to visit Charlotte Lucas, who has married Mr. Collins and lives there. It is a social visit to spend time with Charlotte and to see her new home. Elizabeth also holds some curiosity about Mr. Darcy since Hunsford is in close proximity to his estate, Rosings Park.
Lady Catherine
In "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen, Mr. Collins lives at Hunsford with his wife, Charlotte Lucas, after they are married. It is also the location of Lady Catherine de Bourgh's estate, Rosings Park.
We are not told explicitly who owns Hunsford. We do know several things about it, and from these we can guess the owner. Hunsford is where Mr. Collins lives at the parsonage. Hunsford also is the place where his parish is. Hunsford is, therefore, not an estate, but a village. We know that Mr. Collins has been given his position by his patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. The parsonage is very close to Rosings Park, where she lives. This makes it pretty clear that Lady Catherine actually owns the village of Hunsford, which would give her the right to choose its parson. This sort of ownership of a village was common in England, and is also seen elsewhere in the novel. The parish Mr. Wickham would have been given at Pemberly was one of the villages on that estate. When Mr. Bennet says officers will not even be allowed through the village, he is talking about a decision he is allowed to make as owner of the village of Longbourn. His residence is referred to as Longbourn, but it is properly Longbourn Park.
Lady Catherine lives at an estate called Rosings, in Kent. Mr. Collins home, called Hunsford, is very near it.
Lady Catherine De Bourgh (Pride and Prejudice) owned it and later married Mr Collins.
In a Church
Charlotte and Collins lived at Hunsford Parsonage in the novel "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen.
Mr. Collins' benefactor was his patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. She provided him with the living at Hunsford Parsonage, which secured his financial future and allowed him to become the clergyman there.
There were three places in Pride and Prejudice where Elizabeth was proposed to. One was at Longbourne, the home of the Bennets. This was Mr. Collins proposal, which she refused. The second proposal was at Hunsford, the Collins home in Kent. This time Darcy proposed and she refused. The third proposal was while she and Darcy were walking near Longbourne. This time she accepted. The book has been adapted for film or television a number of times. The scene where Elizabeth refused Darcy in the 2005 movie was especially picturesque. This was at the Temple of Apollo at Stourhead Gardens, Warminster, Wiltshire, UK.
