Day 12
Haworth: Bronte Parsonage
August 3, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
The weather was much brighter today. The original plan had been to ride on the iconic Skipton-Settle-Carlisle railway to Appleby and back. Alas there was industrial action this week with many trains cancelled, and while we could have found a train out, there was no guarantee we'd get one home. 😕

I felt very disappointed, as the railway was one of the reasons I chose this bnb near the railway line. We didn't want to waste this wonderful weather. Drove to the Bronte parsonage museum in Haworth just to get us out of the house.

The day exceeded my expectations. There was much more at Haworth than the parsonage. There was a whole cobbled street full of interesting shops. I finally encountered a patchwork quilt, and I got to have a tinkle on a pipe organ!Read more
Traveler Lovely to hear you playing the organ

Haworth, where Gordon learns something.

It seems my government school education may not have been complete. Around the 1800s Patrick and Alice Bronte had six kids while he also pumped out sermons to deliver as vicar of the church next door.

Turns out that literally on the dining table in the next room Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte were pumping out absolute literary classics of the English language: Charlotte's Jane Eyre, Emily's Wuthering Heights and Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

No literary seclusion for them though. Along the way they buried three siblings and their mother. In the end Dad Patrick outlived his wife and ALL SIX of his kids.
What a life in Haworth, this little corner of Yorkshire. I'm learning....Read more
