Bronte Parsonage Museum
The Bronte Family vault is inside the HAWORTH PARISH CHURCH and there, beneath an inscribed stone and commemorative plaque, the whole family apart from Anne(who lies at Scarborough) is buried. See also the Bronte' Memorial Chapel and the collection of documents concerning notable events in the family's life. The Bronte' sisters' father was the curate at one time at the Parish Church also known as St. Michael and All Angels.
This is a photograph of the Parsonage at Haworth.
It was built in 1778 and is now The Bronte Parsonage Museum. It is owned by the Bronte Society.
It opened as a museum in 1928, and visitors can wander through the rooms which are still furnished as it was when the Brontes lived there.

Adjacent to the musum is a shop which sells, gifts, stationery, ceramics, needlework kits and of course the books written by the Bronte sisters.
The steep village street is paved with stone setts and lined with shops, galleries, inns and cafe's - many converted from cottages originally used by hand-loom weavers which was once the staple industry of Haworth. At the top of MAIN STREET are the old village stocks where local offenders were once punished.
The Reverand Patrick Bronte, his wife Maria, and their six children came to live at the Parsonage in 1820.
The mother Maria died in 1821, and then the two eldest girls Maria and Elizabeth died here both in 1825 still in their childhood.
Their Aunt Elizabeth Branwell (Maria's sister) then came to live at the Parsonage to take care of them. Inscribed on the stone here, it says that this was once a gateway leading to the church where the Brontes were carried after their deaths!
