Ponden Hall.

Built in 1634, Ponden was home to the Heaton family for generations – and also an inspiration to the Bronte children, who visited here often.

Emily based parts of her novel ‘Wuthering Heights’ here; Branwell caroused at pre-hunt meets here, and wrote a short ghost story about the family; Charlotte, Branwell and Emily all used the library and ran for shelter here in the great Crow Hill Bog Burst of 1824.
