Let Me In: The Brontës In Bricks and Mortar book talk and signing with Sharon Wright & Ann Dinsdale
About
On 21 November 2025
14:00-15:30
£15
Join this very special event to mark 175 years since Charlotte Brontë visited Ambleside to stay with her friend Harriet Martineau at The Knoll. Authors Ann Dinsdale and Sharon Wright share why that visit in 1850 is part of their new book Let Me In: The Brontës in Bricks and Mortar. As part of their research, they visited The Armitt and drew inspiration from intriguing items in our Martineau collection. They also discuss the Clergy Daughters' School in Cowan Bridge - the inspiration for the notorious Lowood in Jane Eyre. Their ground-breaking, beautifully-illustrated book has been described as: 'A gripping tour through time with the Brontë house detectives.' The talk will be followed by a Q&A and book-signing by the authors, so perfect for Christmas shopping!
