Bronte Parsonage Museum

The Bronte Parsonage Museum is situated on the outskirts of Haworth in West Yorkshire. The house that is now a museum was once the home of the Bronte sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne. The sisters spent most of their lives here and wrote their famous novels.

What is there to do at Bronte Parsonage >useum?

The house was built in 1779 and the society that protects the historic collection was formed around 1893. The collection was transferred to the Parsonage in 1926 and it has since grown in size. The desk where Charlotte wrote her novels was donated to the museum in 2011.

The collections at the museum are the largest and most important in the world. Their Contemporary Arts programme includes literary events, exhibitions, festivals and more.

The rooms they once used are filled with their furniture, clothes and personal possessions. Rooms you can see include Mr Nicholl’s study, the kitchen, the Children’s study, Charlotte’s room, and the dining room. Why not extend your visit with a wander around the pretty village of Haworth with its cobbled streets, shops, playground and the Worth Valley railway?
