On Sunday afternoon a
minibus transported Brontë Society members to Guiseley Parish Church where nearly two
hundred years ago Patrick Brontë married Maria Branwell.
The building has
changed considerably since the first church was founded in the twelfth century
and the oak box pews Patrick and Maria would have sat in are no longer there. However it was good to
see the communion rails the couple would have seen and the plaque commemorating
their marriage, which names the famous writers Charlotte, Emily and Anne as
their daughters.
