HAWORTH - Short Documentary Film
Haworth is a small historic town in the City of Bradford metropolitan borough of West Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is located in the Pennines, 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of Keighley and 10 miles (16 km) west of Bradford. The surrounding areas include Oakworth and Oxenhope. Nearby villages include Cross Roads, Stanbury and Lumbfoot.
Brontë Parsonage Museum
Tourism accounts for much of the local economy, with the major attractions being the heritage railway and Brontë Parsonage Museum. In Haworth there are tea rooms, souvenir and antiquarian bookshops, restaurants, pubs and hotels including the Black Bull, where Branwell Brontë's decline into alcoholism and opium addiction allegedly began. Haworth is a base for exploring Brontë Country, while still being close to the major cities of Bradford and Leeds.
From 1971 to 1988, Main Street housed the Haworth Pottery (1971-88) West Yorkshire where Anne Shaw produced hand-thrown domestic stoneware derived from the arts & crafts tradition. Her husband, Robert Shaw (poet), depicted life in the village in the 1970s and 80s, in two collections of satires, The Wrath Valley Anthology, 1981, and Grindley's Bairns,1988, praised by The Times Literary Supplement.
Community facilities.
Haworth railway station is part of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, an authentic preserved steam railway.
The 43 miles (69 km) long Brontë Way leads past Lower Laithe Reservoir, Stanbury to the Brontë waterfalls, the Brontë Bridge and the Brontë Stone Chair in which (it is said) the sisters took turns to sit and write their first stories. It then leads out of the valley and up on the moors to Ponden Hall (reputedly Thrushcross Grange in Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights) and Top Withens, a desolate ruin which was reputedly the setting for the farmstead Wuthering Heights. Top Withens can also be reached by a shorter walking route departing from the nearby village of Stanbury.
The Brontë sisters were born in Thornton near Bradford, but wrote most of their novels while living at Haworth Parsonage when their father was the parson at the Church of St. Michael and All Angels. In the 19th century, the town and surrounding settlements were largely industrialised, which put it at odds with the popular portrayal in Wuthering Heights, which only bore resemblance to the upper moorland that Emily Brontë was accustomed to. The Parsonage is now a museum owned and maintained by the Brontë Society.
Haworth and Haworth railway station have been used as settings for numerous period films and TV series, including The Railway Children, Yanks, Alan Parker's film version of Pink Floyd's The Wall and Wild Child.

St Michael and All Saints, Haworth
This was the church at which Patrick Bronte ministered between 1820-61. There has been a church or Chapel-of-Ease on the site since the 14th Century - the first recorded date being 1317. The church today retains parts of the original medieval structure, including the tower, but the current building was erected between 1879-81, after the church became structurally unsafe. All members of the Bronte family, with the exception of Ann who is buried at Scarborough, are buried in the church.

Patrick Bronte's Life in Ireland before Haworth
This is my quick look round the Bronte Homeland Interpretative Centre and Drumballyroney Parish Church Co Down, where Patrick Bronte, father of the famous Bronte sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne, preached his first sermon. ( Patrick did much to nurture and influence the literary genius of his children.) Patrick's Irish family attended this church. The old schoolhouse next to the church, where Patrick taught still stands and has been restored and functions as a little museum. It is said that Patrick was a good teacher who could encourage learning by using creative teaching methods.
Patrick Bronte was was born close by into a farming family on 17th March 1777 - Saint Patrick's day. Patrick Brontë was born Patrick Brunty in 1777. He was the first of ten children born to Hugh Brunty, a farm labourer and Alice McClory in Drumballyroney (near Rathfriland), County Down. He later moved to England and changed his name to Brontë. No one knows for sure why. Some suggest that he might have wanted to hide his humble origins while others point out that, being a man of letters, he might have chosen the name because of classical Greek influence, since in Greek mythology Brontes means “thunder” and was the name of one of the cyclops.
Patrick spelled his name with a dieresis over the “e” (Brontë) to stress that two syllables are pronounced (and highlight the second syllable as the one accented as in the Greek?).
The 8 mile long Brontë Homeland Drive starts at Drumballyroney Church and School near Rathfriland, ten miles south of Banbridge. Drumballyroney Church ( now deconsecrated ) and School, where Patrick Brontë taught and preached, have been preserved and now include displays about the Brontë family. ( E g. Charlotte's replica wedding dress and ring, and props like classical books that belonged to Revered Bronte himself. )
Unfortunately I was not able to visit other important Patrick Bronte associated buildings for this video.
-Alice McClory's Cottage, Brontë Road. The cottage was the childhood home of Patrick's mother, Alice McClory.
-The remains of Patrick’s birthplace at Emdale.
-Glascar School. Patrick taught here in the 1790s ( the original schoolhouse was replaced by this more modern building in 1844.)
-To the side of the schoolhouse is the Bronte family burial plot.
( I didn't have time to view/visit these but I will return. )
Useful Visiting Information
Bronte Homeland Interpretative Centre
Church Hill Road Drumballyroney Rathfriland County Down

Entrance £3
It is my understanding that the centre is normally shut and is only opened on request. So it is wise to phone through and book entry before any visit!
Access roads towards the centre are single track and therefore difficult for coaches.

Haworth,Yorkshire- 'Graveyard Secrets'
Full Video.
May 2018 & I've come to Haworth's St Michael & All Angels Churchyard. Steeped in history, I learn about the Famous Bronte Sisters & their Brother-Branwell Bronte.
Well known in Yorkshire for being Haunted, this Graveyard certainly surprised me during the filming of this video when I caught a mysterious 'Sigh' or 'Long Breath' on camera.
Packed with Ghost Stories, this 10 minute film is certainly worth a watch! Let me know what you thought - Andy.
