‘My dear Sir,—My poor sister is taken quietly home at last. She died on Monday. With almost her last breath she said she was happy, and thanked God that death was come, and come so gently. I did not think it would be so soon.

With Yorkshire still in the midst of a heatwave perhaps it's time for these Bronte sisters parasols to make a comeback?

Gdy dwa tygodnie obwoziłem siostrzenicę po Bolton Abbey, domu sióstr Bronte w Haworth, plaży w Formby, czy parku Tatton, powiedziała: "Boże, faktycznie Anglia potrafi być cudownie piękna kiedy wyjdzie słońce" Lepiej się tego nie da ująć 🤷

#otd 1853 Arthur Bell Nicholls, assistant curate of Haworth, was presented with this inscribed watch as a leaving present. He was leaving Haworth after Charlotte Bronte rejected his proposal but he returned a year later to marry her - and he even got to keep the watch!

Passed this house every day on the way to school. The Brontës were born here. There was an old black iron plaque then — worn, part of the building. The cobbles have reappeared. There are cafes now, Brontë energies. The village has found its story.

"I am free to walk on the moors - but when I go out there alone - everything reminds me of the times when others were with me and the the moors seem a wilderness, featureless, solitary, saddening.

The Brontës were baptised in the old Bell Chapel, Thornton. The font is now in St James, where i was baptised. A 1st edition of Jane Eyre — our family copy — was lent to a display here . Never came back. Didn't know any of it mattered at the time. TwentyOtherQueerPlaces

Love this scene.
you could absolutely tell that timothy dalton was having a blast in this role most especially here since they barely depict the scene where rochester does the fortune telling diguise and he had one chance and ate it up!

#otd 1895 the first Bronte Museum opened in Haworth, on the first floor of the Yorkshire Penny Bank. 33 years later it would move to Haworth Parsonage, former home of the Brontes.
