Bronte Country

Haworth Parsonage was the home of the Brontės' between 1820 until Patrick's death in 1860. The moors so dear to their hearts can be reached by a path through the churchyard.

The Parsonage as it stands today is well worth a visit to Brontė enthusiasts. The Brontė Society who own and run the Parsonage have, wherever possible, restored the rooms to the way they appeared in the early 1850s so you will be able to 'visit the Brontės' in their natural environment.

They are buried in a family vault inside the church which was rebuilt in 1879.There is a Bronte Memorial Chapel in the church and a commemorative plaque to the family.

The Bronte Society’s Library is also housed at the Parsonage which contains many original documents. Use of the Library is available by appointment, and on payment of a small fee.
