TO mark the bicentenary of the birth of one of Bradford's most famous daughters, seven buildings closely associated with Charlotte Bronte are being relisted by Historic England.
The buildings, three of which are located in Bradford, are having their entries on the list updated to fully acknowledge the important history of Charlotte Bronte, who was born 200 years ago today.
Haworth Parsonage, a Grade I listed building, (pictured) was the home to the Bronte family when the famous sisters were children and young adults, and their most famous novels were written there; Charlotte's Jane Eyre, Emily's Wuthering Heights, and Anne's Agnes Grey, and was also where Charlotte died in 1855.
The second Bradford building is 74 Market Street, Thornton, which is Grade II listed, and was the birthplace and home of the Bronte sisters until they moved to Haworth in 1820.
The ruins of the Chapel of St James in Thornton is also Grade II listed, and was where Charlotte and her sisters were all baptised and where her father Patrick was curate from 1815 to 1820.
The other buildings are in Lothersdale, near Skipton, in Ightenhill, Lancashire, and two in Derbyshire, including North Lees Hall, which was the inspiration for Thornfield Hall from Jane Eyre.
