The parsonage has had a fascinating history.<br /><br />We spoke a couple of years ago about Ferndean Manor and also the research i was doing about Branwell. Since then I have been given access to Joanne Huttons memoirs (mentioned in your article, the first female curator of the parsonage) together with her grandson we are writing a new history of the Bronte story as she reveals many revelations from her knowledge of them, the Bronte society and people who have tried to control the legacy. The memoirs and also an unpublished manuscript are very exciting and we hope the book will generate much discussion. In the mean time we are posting up little bits of research and a few teasers here.<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Bront%C3%ABs/244723072253318?fref=ts<br /><br />very best wishes<br /><br />ianFerndean Manorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254275652734457089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074545955842912793.post-72278995017513480022013-08-26T16:46:47.776+02:002013-08-26T16:46:47.776+02:00Yes, the owl, Emily would have love it :-)
Thank ...Yes, the owl, Emily would have love it :-)<br /><br />Thank you both for your comment. For me this was completely new as well. I never thougt of other families living in the Parsonage. But as Ann Dinsdale writes: After reading this book one cannot else than thinking of more families living in this house.Geri Meftah Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596915249757782612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074545955842912793.post-19518787268555480562013-08-26T15:18:27.443+02:002013-08-26T15:18:27.443+02:00Fascinating history .

They have that wave in the middle that very old worn stone steps get <br /><br />I think the family would approve of the Parsonage remaining a family home so many years into its museum life.That this part of its life , its home life, did not crease also right after it stopped being the current Parsonage.<br /><br /> I know Emily would have approved of the owl! lol <br /><br />When someone lived there a link is maintained somehow. <br /><br />Indeed the evening light slants into the dining room just as Charlotte describes it.How light comes into the windows of a house it a real signature of a house and those who have lived in a particularly house learn the pattern. It takes living in it over time to learn it . <br /><br />If Charlotte had left out the part about the memory being made in the evening, a person who had lived in the Parsonage would have known it was in the evening by the way she describes the light <br /><br />Thank you for this wonderful post!
