About Thornton
- All four Brontë siblings — Charlotte (born 1816), Branwell (1817), Emily (1818), and Anne (1820) — were born at 74 Market Street, Thornton, during the five years their father Patrick Brontë served as curate at Bell Chapel. The house is now a heritage attraction and one of the most important literary birthplaces in England.
- Bell Chapel in Thornton, where Patrick Brontë preached from 1815 to 1820, still stands and is open to visitors. The chapel contains the font in which all four Brontë children were baptised.
- Thornton is just 6 miles from Haworth, where the Brontë family moved in 1820 and where Charlotte, Emily, and Anne wrote their famous novels. The two villages together form the heart of Brontë Country — one of the most visited literary landscapes in the world.
