The parsonage, where the Reverend Patrick Brontë and his family lived, still contains the memorabilia of a family of exceptional talent. Furniture, books and drawings remind visitors that Charlotte (1818-1855), Emily (1818-1848) and Anne (1820-1849), all famous novelists, once lived here. Their brother, Branwell, painted a portrait of his sisters here which now hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in London.
