My ancestors are from Haworth and were there at the same time as the Brontës . Rev. Patrick Brontë’s signature appears on many of our families baptism, marriage and burial records from that time. Also around that time Haworth was not the picturesque hamlet you see today, it had a very high mortality rate.

Wow! What a walk today. The stones and the history are fantastic! 2-300 years old. And some are still very legible. Slate perhaps. Slate stones last so long. They are easy to carve, and are long lasting. Great artistry. Thank you so much!

Patrick Brontë the father also campaigned tirelessly for reservoirs in the area & got that ball rolling, so it thanks to him that they were created as soon as they were, he too was great in his own way. I was amazed that nearly all those old grave stones were still standing, in most old graveyards many are wonky or completely fallen. I think that graveyard is maintained because it’s a tourist attraction, so hopefully the fallen one you saw will be stood up again soon.

Do not feel bad about walking on graves. Ecclesiastes-King Solomon says the dead "know not anything" (they're unconscious) If one worried about stepping on a grave in this very occupied cemetery, no grave would ever be visited. Better to visit than to avoid it out of old superstitions.

My niece’s husband 43 just died. He needed a kidney transplant. At his grave side service my sister was like say oh I stepped on someone’s grave and then she looked at the marker and it was a neighbor man we grew up with our whole life. I just chuckled and told my sister that was him having her step there to tell her hey don’t walk off without saying hi to me, because he was a jokester and had a hardy laugh.

In the back field of our yard. The dog would not stop barking at us, he was behind a fence. So we thought it would be funny to put Baby Oral gel on a stick and throw it. Of course the dog went after it. The dog wallowed that stick then started drooling. He came out to see why we’re laughing, sees the dog drooling and making funny mouth movements. He was like alright kids what did you do to my dog Brutus? We kinda looked sheepish at him and I confessed we put baby oral gel on the stick and threw it and he went after it. We thought we were in big trouble, but no he started laughing, and laughing. Then shook his finger at us all and said I guess that’s one way to get him to stop barking. Then we all laughed, but then he said no more baby oral gel.

Bronte is a place in Sicily which in Greek means "thunder" as in brontosaurus which means "thunder lizard".Being on the slopes of Mt Etna the name refers to the thunderous noise caused by volcanic eruptions. Admiral Nelson was made a "duke of Bronte" for saving the Neapolitan monarchy from the French. A suburb of Sydney, Australia is also called "Bronte:" in honor of Nelson. The estate remained in the hands of the nelson estate until quite recently. The family of the reverend bronte also changed their name to honor Nelson.
