What is recorded here

This stone commemorative plaque records: This was the home to which the Rev. Patrick Brontë, brought his bride, Maria Branwell, after their marriage on 29th December 1812. And it was here that their two eldest children, Maria & Elizabeth, were born.
Rev Patrick Brontë was an Anglican clergyman and the father of the literary Brontë sisters; Maria Branwell was his wife, and together they had four daughters including Maria and Elizabeth, though all but Charlotte, Emily, and Anne died young. The family's legacy is primarily tied to the literary achievements of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë.
