The Brontes' Table

This table is where the Bronte sisters wrote from early childhood: their early works were written here and later Charlotte's Jane Eyre, Emily's Wuthering Heights and Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. This grant enabled the table to be returned to its original position in the dining room of Haworth Parsonage in West Yorkshire.

Brontë family dining table saved for the nation

A grant of just over £580,000 from the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) has enabled the Brontë Society to secure the Brontës’ family dining table. With an incredible connection to the UK’s literary heritage and at risk of being lost, it will now go on display at the Brontës’ former home, Haworth Parsonage in West Yorkshire, for visitors to enjoy.
