After the death of Anne Bronte, Charlotte, the last surviving Bronte sibling, wrote the very heartfelt and moving poem "On The Death Of Anne Bronte":

In my new post we look at the life and death of Edmund Robinson, Branwell Bronte's nemesis: annebronte.org/2025/06/01/the…

Beautiful Holy Trinity church in Little Ouseburn near York. This is the church Anne Bronte attended whilst governess at nearby Thorp Green Hall, its vicar was the hall's owner Edmund Robinson although he never carried out a Sunday service there. Photos courtesy of Mark Davis.

Another view of Holy Trinity church, Little Ouseburn near Thorp Green Hall, York (photo by Mark Davis). Anne Bronte attended services here for 5 years. Inside is a tribute to Edmund Robinson, nemesis of Branwell Bronte.

"Myself", a dramatic self-portrait of sorts by Branwell Bronte, showing the mental torment he was in.

A beautiful photo of Haworth taken this week by Bronte country photographer Mark Davis. A tourist hotspot now, it wasn't quite as picturesque in the time of the Brontes.

Margaret Wooler, seen her in old age, was first Charlotte Bronte's teacher, then employer, then good friend and it was Margaret who gave Charlotte away at her wedding.

#otd 1861 Patrick Bronte died in Haworth, where he'd been curate for over 40 years. Patrick outlived his wife and all six of his children, but his three youngest daughters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte, ensure that his name lives on forever.

In today's new post we look at how Patrick Bronte dealt with a bully, and what it says about his character: annebronte.org/2025/06/08/pat…

#otd 1850 Charlotte Bronte met her childhood hero the Duke of Wellington, then 81. In a letter afterwards she called him "a real grand old man." Charlotte also bought this miniature iron replica of Wellington, the Iron Duke.

St. Peter's church, Hartshead in Yorkshire. This is where Patrick Bronte was curate when he married Maria Branwell and when his first two children, Maria and Elizabeth Bronte, were born.

#otd 1572 the great Ben Jonson was born. A playwright of genius, he was often in trouble with the authorities. On 9 October 1605 he dined on The Strand with Robert Catesby, Thomas Winter and Francis Tresham. Less than a month later they were at the heart of the gunpowder plot

A beautiful Charlotte Bronte poem beautifully illustrated on the June entry of the Bronte poetry calendar given to me by Belgian artist Marina Saegerman.

#otd 1850 Charlotte Bronte sat for this portrait by society artist George Richmond. Her friends didn't like it. Mary Taylor said it flattered Charlotte too much and Ellen Nussey said it was too severe.

This is an image of Lousy Thorn Farm in Hartshead, West Yorshire, before it became a ruin. It was here that Patrick Bronte initially lived when minister at Hartshead church, and here where he lived when he married Maria Branwell in 1812.

In my new post we remember Elizabeth Bronte who died, aged ten, 200 years ago today: annebronte.org/2025/06/15/rem…

A photo of the beautiful Scarborough Castle I took in 2018. Anne Bronte loved it and the views it offered, and she is buried at the foot of it in the annexe of St Mary's church.

In my latest House Of Bronte video I leave my home office behind and head to the Bronte Parsonage Museum in Haworth to take an in depth look at the dining room where the Bronte sisters ate, laughed and created works of genius: youtube.com/watch?v=YM36NP…

Some pictures of me in full flow addressing the Brussels Bronte Group Brontës in Brussels last month. It was such an honour to be invited to speak in the city Charlotte and Emily Bronte knew so well.
