Bronte Parsonage - Haworth

Bronte Parsonage Haworth Yorkshire

This is the Parsonage in the centre of Haworth made famous as the former home of the Bronte sisters.

The sisters Charlotte (21 April 1816 – 31 March 1855), Emily (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) and Anne (17 January 1820 – 28 May 1849), were writers. Their novels caused a sensation when they were first published and are are still read today.

The Parsonage is today a museum and home to The Brone Society, one of the oldest literary societies in the English speaking world.

  1. Your posts are so very interesting! Really made the Bronte sisters come alive in my memory again. I have presented you a Butterfly Award on my Nostalgia Today and Yesterday blog.

  2. It looks very austere - quite in keeping with my image of the Brontes.
