Is this Thornfield Hall from Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre novel? Did Charlotte get inspired by the story of the Mad Woman in the Attic? Did she see the secret staircase? Come with me as we look around this wonderful old Yorkshire house and get a glimpse of what Charlotte would have seen when she came to visit 185 years ago.

--ABOUT ME--
Hello, I'm Kate-a huge fan of the Brontë Sisters for many years. Upon relocating to Yorkshire with my husband, I found myself irresistibly drawn to the village of Haworth, home of the Brontë Sisters and my obsession grew. It was during the challenging days of the Lockdown in 2020 that I decided to channel my passion into action. Disappointed by the lack of quality Brontë-themed goodies available, I embarked on a mission to create my own and my online shop was born.
Since then, I've immersed myself in the world of literature, attending Book Festivals and events across the UK. Inspired by my adventures and encouraged by the enthusiastic response from fellow Brontë enthusiasts on social media, I decided to share my experiences through KZfaq videos.

This is very likely where she got her inspiration from. What fun! A hidden staircase. ❤

I hope it is. I wish I could have gone up to look for myself. Might see what I can sort out for the future.

Oh yes I do think that this definitely could be the inspiration for Thornfield Hall. It is absolutely beautiful - and the gardens too!! I was so relaxed looking at it - and you have a calming voice. Thank you so much for this. I have always wanted to visit Bronte Country. I first read Jane Eyre at school and then just had to read Wuthering Heights. Thank you. See you next video 📚😊

Welcome and I am so pleased you enjoyed the video. I spent hours in the garden, long after everyone else had gone. It was beautiful and, strange as it sounds, I felt like I was being watched and any minute I would see a child peeping out from behind a bush. Not in a scary way either. I have so many ideas for videos so I hope you like them.

Thank you for this. It looks like the Thornfield in the Timothy Dalton version. My favorite . In the US, we tear down a house before its a 100 years old, if that. This is amazing !

Thank you so much, I really try to get as much across whilst making it visually interesting. I am no expert, I just love history and especially the Brontë's history.

Thank you for showing the house and the coincedences seem to be what inspired Charlotte for Janes story, I only watched it last week, so enjoyed this video.

Welcome, hope you enjoy some of my other video. Loved making this one, I think because they only open a few days a year it made it feel extra special.

That's a great place. I like that it's been left alone pretty much and isn't all renovated and modernized. I can believe that was the inspiration for Thornfield.

You can tell it is very much their home. I loved that there was a mix of the families history then modern object that they use everyday.

I had never heard the story of where Charlotte Bronte got the inspiration for Thornfield Hall and, in particular, the side story of "the crazy woman in the attic room," which I have always felt was an ingenious, Gothic touch to her book. Great video here.

Thank you, I was fascinated by the story and had to go myself and find out. Love a bit of gothic.

It's crazy isn't but the place is so interesting, wish I could have see through some of the other doors.

Thornfield had battlements and a roof that could be walked on. If's a very central part of the story. This place has no battlements. Plus there is NO hard evidence CB ever went there, is there?

I know, evidence is hard to come by.
