WutheringHikes: I'd previously expressed my doubts of the story of Patrick Bronte causing the holes in Haworth church tower with his flintlock pistol. There are several reasons for this namely the distance between the parsonage & church, power of the gun and the disrespect it might have shown.
HaworthBrontes: Has the mystery of Patrick Brontë, his flintlock pistol and holes in St Michaels church tower been solved ?
Nick_Holland_: The first school the eldest Bronte siblings Maria & Elizabeth attended was Crofton Hall, Wakefield. It was an exclusive, expensive school that Patrick couldn't afford so they were soon sent to Cowan Bridge, the Lowood of Jane Eyre, with tragic results.
BranwellBronte: My father, Patrick Brontë, was born today in 1777. Despite what many believe, he was a kind and attentive father.

CenarthFox: Happy 246th birthday to Patrick Bronte, the much underappreciated father of those dazzling daughters.
MiriamEBurstein: One of the odd things about the description of Cathy I's much-overwritten books in WUTHERING HEIGHTS is that it /really/ resembles Patrick Bronte's annotations to Thomas Graham's medical handbook (which I was looking at today).
aethelfleds: Just found out that Branwell Bronte was the designated Guy of the village. When a traveller stopped at the inn, the innkeeper would "send for Patrick" to come be funny and interesting to the guests
imcullin: Just found out the v Victorian English Brontë sisters are daughters of a Patrick Brunty, so will be referring to them as such from here on out
Nick_Holland_: Frances Mary Richardson Currer was a Yorkshire heiress said to have England's best library. A renowned philanthropist, she cleared Patrick Bronte's debts after his wife's death. She probably inspired the penname of a woman who met her years later: Currer Bell - Charlotte Bronte
p_conservation: Works are about to start (13th March) on the re-roof and ceiling repairs of the main hall to this cherished Grade II-listed The Old School Room, West Yorkshire. Built two centuries ago by Patrick Bronte, father of famous literary daughters, the Bronte Sisters.
TedMcClelland: TIL that Patrick Bronte, the Bronte sisters' father, outlived his wife (by 40 years) and all six of his children.
AFowlerPhoto: Little remains of The Bell Chapel in Thornton, where Patrick Brontë was pastor from 1815 - 20, before the family moved to Haworth. Only the cupola from the top of the tower, the east wall and vestry are still standing.

HaworthBrontes: Did Patrick Brontë actually shoot the holes that can be seen in the church tower ?
Nick_Holland_: Literary pilgrims come to Haworth from across the globe. This 1954 photo shows the visit of a Russian cultural delegation! On the left is Leonid Leonov, novelist and playwright and six-time winner of the Order of Stalin. Patrick Bronte's portrait is keeping an eye on them!
patrick_bronte: Everyone has such a life of a loved one: with the rest of his life, to accompany you in the first half.
Nick_Holland_: Thornton Parsonage wasn't just the birthplace of Charlotte Bronte of course, but of the four youngest Bronte children: Charlotte, Patrick Branwell, Emily Jane and Anne.
Nick_Holland_: Did you know there was a Bronte cousin living in Yorkshire until 1905? Rose Heslip was the daughter of Patrick Bronte's sister Sarah, and moved from Ireland to Heckmondwike in 1856. She named her daughter after cousin Emily Bronte, but Emily Heslip also died of tuberculosis.

Brontefan1976: On this day, 29th of December 1812 Patrick Brontë married his beloved Maria Branwell. Their greatest love story led to the most amazing literature ever written.

turbarius: Interesting fact: the Bronte sisters spoke with Irish accents. Their father Patrick (formerly O'Prunty) came from a branch of the Ó Pronntaigh scribal family which had converted to Protestantism. Gaelic manuscripts written by a likely ancestor of the girls are still extant.

They were from different lands, different classes, different worlds almost. The chances of Cornish gentlewoman Maria Branwell even meeting the poor Irish curate Patrick Brontë in Regency England, let alone falling passionately in love, were remote.

Nick_Holland_: This beautiful grandfather clock still stands in the Bronte Parsonage, Haworth. Patrick Bronte wound it up every night at 9. It was made by John Barraclough who lived nearby in what is now The Hawthorn restaurant.

Nick_Holland_: Across from the Haworth Parsonage dining room we saw yesterday is this room - Patrick Bronte's study. He dined alone here, but this room also housed the piano. Emily played it (brilliantly, it's reported) and Anne sang along - a lovely family scene!

Her only novel, Wuthering Heights was published in December 1847 and it's never been out of print since.
Nick_Holland_: Some wonderful Patrick Bronte items here, including his quill, glasses and marble paperweight in the form of a prayerbook. We also see one of the neckerchiefs he habitually wore - and what a dazzler it is!
