What is recorded here
This stone commemorative plaque records: Maria, Elizabeth, Charlotte and Emily Brontë lived here as pupils of the Clergy Daughter's School 1824-25. The school was moved to Casterton 1833
Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) and Emily Brontë (1818-1848) were renowned English novelists, known respectively for "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights," which are considered masterpieces of English literature. Their sisters Maria and Elizabeth both died young while attending the Clergy Daughters' School, an event that deeply impacted Charlotte and Emily's lives and possibly influenced their literary works.
