The Brontë Parsonage Museum is maintained by the Brontë Society in honour of the famed Brontë sisters — Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë — and is located in Haworth, West Yorkshire, an area of England covered in much open, expansive moorland. It is popular with those seeking to find the source of the sisters’ inspiration, and is of particular interest as the Brontës spent most of their lives here and wrote their famous novels in these surroundings.
Sallys Bridge – Wycoller Village – Pendle – Lancashire As one approaches the village of wycoller there is nothing to suggest the mystery and beauty that awaits the visitor. One almost seems to step back in time the moment the village comes into view.The word Wycoller originates from the Anglo Saxon Wic-Alr, meaning dairy farm among the alder trees.Passing through the village an old pack horse bridge spans Wycoller Beck from beyond which the first site of wycoller hall comes into view.Interestingly the twin arched bridge is also known as Sally’s Bridge named after Sally Owen, mother of the last squire Henry Owen Cunliffe. / In her walks across the moors from Haworth,Charlotte Bronte was a regular visitor to the area and it is considered by many that Wycoller Hall was the inspiration for Ferndean Manor in the famous novel Jane Eyre.Once an imposing structure wycoller hall is now a ruin said to be haunted by two ghosts,one a headless horse man said to ascend the now missing stairs on full moon lit nights and the other a lady dressed in black seen at a window. In Chapter XXXVII of the novel Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë wrote / “The manor-house of Ferndean was a building of considerable antiquity, moderate size, and no architectural pretensions, deep buried in a wood. Even when within a very short distance of the manor-house, you could see nothing of it, so thick and dark grew the timber of the gloomy wood about it. Iron gates between granite pillars showed me where to enter, and passing through them, I found myself at once in the twilight of close-ranked trees. There was a grass-grown track descending the forest aisle between hoar and knotty shafts and under branched arches.” / When viewing the hall on an downcast autumn day it is easy to relate to Charlottes description.
