Haworth will forever be linked to the literary output of the three daughters of one of our former incumbents, the Rev. Patrick Brontë. He and his family lived in the Parsonage just to the west of the Church building from 1820 until 1861 and the novels produced by Charlotte, Ann and Emily not only still enthral readers throughout the world but attract many visitors to the Church and the village from around the world as well as from Yorkshire, its surrounding counties and the rest of Great Britain and Ireland.

All the family but Ann was interred in a tomb beneath the present Church which was rebuilt after Brontë’s death. The present Church was constructed between 1879 and 1881 and, although little remains of the previous buildings – parts of the present church tower formed parts of both the medieval church building as well as the one that Brontë would have used – many historical connections with both the Anglican and Methodist movements as well as literature are still present.

Today, the St Michael and All Angels, together with its associated Church St Gabriel’s in the nearby hill-top village of Stanbury, provides a spiritual centre for the district’s vibrant Anglican community and a great deal of work is going into fulfilling the ambitions of a five-year plan to repair and restore the splendid Haworth Parish Church building that is constructed in the perpendicular style.
