Is this Charlotte Brontë’s Thornfield Hall?

Published 2024-06-07
Is this Thornfield Hall from Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre novel? Did Charlotte get inspired by the story of the Mad Woman in the Attic? Did she see the secret staircase? Come with me as we look around this wonderful old Yorkshire house and get a glimpse of what Charlotte would have seen when she came to visit 185 years ago.

--ABOUT ME--
Hello, I'm Kate—a huge fan of the Brontë Sisters for many years. Upon relocating to Yorkshire with my husband, I found myself irresistibly drawn to the village of Haworth, home of the Brontë Sisters and my obsession grew. It was during the challenging days of the Lockdown in 2020 that I decided to channel my passion into action. Disappointed by the lack of quality Brontë-themed goodies available, I embarked on a mission to create my own and my online shop was born.
Since then, I've immersed myself in the world of literature, attending Book Festivals and events across the UK. Inspired by my adventures and encouraged by the enthusiastic response from fellow Brontë enthusiasts on social media, I decided to share my experiences through YouTube videos.

    The story of Sir Richard and his horse is absolutely fascinating! The mark on the floor is particularly compelling, not only can you see the outline of the shoe, but the horse's frog too! (The frog being part of the hoof of the horse that is in the shape of a V. It's a very tender part of their foot. amazing to see this! No wonder Charlotte Bronte was inspired by this place!

    Very lovely and exceptionally well made. When you were about to walk the path in the garden and mentioned that you were going to read poetry....you said to Charlotte and I thought you were about to say....to Mr. Rochester. That's how real you made it. thank you.

    Jane Eyre is certainly one of my favorites by Charlotte. The childhood she had to suffer broke my heart. She overcame much and persevered. I can understand how she became fascinated by Mr. Rochester but after the deception he put Jane through,myself I wouldn't have gone back. I would have stayed with the Rivers family,that was the only thing I would have changed. I found this huge house very intriguing, with it's hidden attic room and the story of the madwoman. Yes, it could inspire many stories I'm sure. I don't believe the story about the horse's hoof print though. Why only one? Cheerio.
  • That's a great place. I like that it's been left alone pretty much and isn't all renovated and modernized. I can believe that was the inspiration for Thornfield.
  • @lllowkee6533
    Thank you for this.   It looks like the Thornfield in the Timothy Dalton version. My favorite . In the US, we tear down a house before its a 100 years old, if that. This is amazing !
