The Old School Room, Church Street, Haworth, is one of the most important historical buildings in the area.  Built by Patrick Bronte in 1832 and taught at by all his famous children, the building is an integral part of the Church-Parsonage story.

Still owned by the Church of England, the building has served the people of Haworth for over 170 years, originally as a Sunday School, then a National School, being a focal of community life throughout.

Over the past few years the old building has begun to show its age, and a small group of volunteers came together to try and conserve and maintain it for future generations.  This group is known as BRONTE SPIRIT.

As well as conserving an extremely important heritage site, BRONTE SPIRIT is determined to allow public access to visitors and locals, and have achieved this via a number of heritage and arts events, as well as making it available for hire.
