Haworth

The Parsonage is the house in which the three Brontë sisters grew up and composed their famous novels, while their father served as curate in the nearby Haworth church. Extensive collection of original Brontë manuscripts, and other memorabilia of their family life here.

This is the Anglican church where Patrick Brontë was "Perpetual Curate" - because it was only a chapel, he shouldn't be called "vicar" or "rector". It was entirely rebuilt circa 1880 (some years after the family had died out) so, although it's an interesting late Victorian church, the only Brontë connection is the graveyard. The family vault contains most of them, though Anne is buried in Scarborough.

As well as the historical walks, you can learn more about Haworth's ghostly and Gothic past by joining the Haunted Haworth ghost tour. Theatrical and entertaining as well as informative, the walks are hosted by a local storyteller and folklorist. Depart from the foot of the steps to the church, outside the Black Bull pub.

Events take place throughout the village, including vintage vehicle displays, evacuees event, re-enactments, speeches from Churchill, jive dancing, singing and bands playing.

A week of music, comedy and other arts in late July.
