Brontë Trees, Myths, and Superstitions: The Secrets of Haworth’s Graveyard

Come with me as I explore the secrets of Haworth Graveyard through its remarkable trees and fascinating history. These ancient guardians played a vital role in improving public health during the Victorian era, helping to filter polluted water and combat diseases that plagued the village. We also delve into the symbolism and superstitions the Victorians associated with trees, uncovering their deeper meanings in life and death.
I discover the personal connection between Charlotte Brontë and her beloved cypress pine tree, planted in her garden at the Parsonage, and reflect on how the natural world influenced the Brontës' writing and imagination.

// ABOUT ME \\
Hello, I'm Kate-a huge fan of the Brontë Sisters for many years. Upon relocating to Yorkshire with my husband, I found myself irresistibly drawn to the village of Haworth, home of the Brontë Sisters and my obsession grew. It was during the challenging days of the Lockdown in 2020 that I decided to channel my passion into action. Disappointed by the lack of quality Brontë-themed goodies available, I embarked on a mission to create my own and my online shop was born.
Since then, I've immersed myself in the world of literature, attending Book Festivals and events across the UK. Inspired by my adventures and encouraged by the enthusiastic response from fellow Brontë enthusiasts on social media, I decided to share my experiences through TH-cam videos.
