Haworth Church - Main Street Haworth

Haworth Church

Haworth is a village of northern England not far from Bradford. The Brontë sisters (famous today as writers) Charlotte, Emily, and Anne lived with their father and brother in the parsonage, which now houses a library and museum devoted to family memorabilia.

The church shown above St Michael's and All Angels' Church is at the heart of Haworth village. Patrick Brontë father of the Brontë sisters became curate of this church in 1820 and the family lived in the now famous parsonage.

  1. It's so pretty and I especially love the clock! Thanks for the history too. That is very interesting. We have a church here called St. Michael's and All Angels, but of course it is not as lovely as this.

  2. One of my favourite locations, I just adore going to Haworth, especially around the Church and Churchyard. Spent my birthday in Dec 2005 there and cannot wait to go back. Thanks so much Paul for the beautiful photo. Linda
