The King's Arms and The Black Bull were both owned by the same landlord and were favourite haunts of Branwell Bronte ... the black sheep of the famous literary family. A visual-artist, public speaker and writer; his talents are often overlooked. Not only was he (allegedly) a drug addict and alcaholic ... he also became the head of the Haworth Village Temperance Society !

The Black Bull is listed as one of the most haunted public houses in Britain and has featured frequently in the 'Most Haunted' television series.

The King's Arms is also reputed to be haunted; having served for many years as both the village mortuary and slaughterhouse ! It sits at the entrance to Church Street, which takes the visitor past the church, cemetry and schoolrooms to reach the Bronte Parsonage.

This scene, also copyright Ian Palmer 2008, beautifully captures the magnificent church at the heart of Haworth.

 

This is the schoolroom where all three of the sisters taught.

During 2006-07 it was converted into a contemporary art gallery, retaining one 'original' classroom for visitors to enjoy. Throughout 2007 it housed critically-acclaimed exhibitions by the American Matt Lamb and our own Chris McCarthy.
