Wycoller Hall ("Ferndean Manor" from the novel "Jane Eyre")

Wycoller Hall ("Ferndean Manor" from the novel "Jane Eyre")
This 16th Century Tudor Manor house is believed to be the inspiration for Ferndean Manor in the novel "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte. Charlotte and her family lived in the Parsonage at Haworth, just a few miles from here and are reported to have visited Wycoller many times. One example of evidence to support the belief that Wycoller Hall was Ferndean Manor comes from a report (see below) of the members of the Lancashire & Cheshire Antiquarian Society visit to Wycoller in May 1901.

"The ladies were pleased to hear that some old folks had been spoken to who had remembered the Misses Brontë coming down from Barnside; also that Wycoller was the original "Fern Dean" in Jane Eyre and that the Heights above were Wuthering Heights".
