I'm sure most people are aware of the connection between Haworth and the Brontë sisters: Charlotte, Emily and Anne. Their father, Revd Patrick Brontë, became the minister in Haworth in 1820 and the three sisters lived and wrote their famous novels in the Parsonage there. It is now a museum, still furnished much as it was in their time, though the wing on the right with the gable was added by Patrick's successor and there is now a visitor centre round the back.
Walking from the village centre, up the cobbled lane, past the church and the schoolroom that the Brontës built and at which Charlotte, Emily, Anne and Branwell all taught, you could well imagine yourself back in the 1840s.
Nice pictures, thank you
ReplyDeleteAll that stone must feel safe. One of the films about the Brontes shows them often walking by the wall.
Oh, for a time machine! But just being there must be not unlike going back in time.
ReplyDeleteThe wing complete with cornerstones matches the original perfectly. Nice photos!
