ThingsToDoBrontë memorials and a working church / HAWORTH
Haworth Parish Church
Visit St Michael and All Angels for the parish setting of the Brontë story and a quiet look at the memorials. Most of the family are buried beneath the church; Anne is buried in Scarborough. The present church was largely rebuilt after Patrick Brontë’s death, so distinguish the family’s connections from the age of the building you see.
Pair a short visit with the neighbouring Parsonage, but check that sightseeing fits around worship and other services. The church can be a place to pause rather than another hour-long attraction.
The practical details
- Where to find it
- Church Street, Haworth BD22 8EF
Directions and arrival information ↗ - Tickets and booking
- Ordinary visiting is free, with donations welcome. Check the parish’s current visiting arrangements; services, funerals and concerts can change access. Special events may have their own booking or charges. A visit to the church does not include admission to the Parsonage.
- Access and getting around
- The approach is through the steep historic village and churchyard paving can be uneven. Contact the parish about the entrance, internal route and toilet provision you need before making a special journey. Keep to formal paths and allow extra time after rain or in icy conditions.
Official access information ↗ - Visiting with children
- Choose a memorial or architectural feature to look at quietly. Supervise children in the churchyard, respecting graves and anyone visiting them. A short stop before lunch or park time is usually easier to pace than consecutive long indoor visits.
