In 1861, Charlotte Bronte\u2019s husband, Arthur Bell Nicholls, returned from Haworth, the home of the Bronte\u2019s, to Hill House in Banagher. The Rev. Patrick Bronte, the last of the family, had died and Arthur inherited everything including his wife\u2019s wedding clothes, the family\u2019s childhood writings, diaries, books, manuscripts, paintings and even the Rev. Patrick Bronte\u2019s dogs, Cato and Plato. The three Bronte sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne, were popular novelists and items associated with their lives and works were highly sought after; yet Arthur\u2019s esteem for the family was such that he refused to monetise these treasures. Some years after his death in 1906, his second wife, Mary Anna, organised the sale of these objects through Sotheby\u2019s and most of the Bronte relics found their way back to the parsonage museum at Haworth. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For two years the Crafting group in Banagher have been making textile pieces of some of the important items preserved in Hill House, such as Charlotte\u2019s wedding dress; portraits of Charlotte, Arthur, and Branwell; quotations and other items to tell the story of the Bronte connection with Banagher. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This community-based project curated by Maebh O\u2019Regan is designed to highlight the role that Arthur Bell Nicholls played in preserving the Bronte legacy. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These works will be exhibited in Crank House during the That Beats Banagher Festival in July 2022. The show will include readings <\/span><\/span>a film event and demonstration. Festival dates to be confirmed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":19150,"template":"","class_list":["post-19149","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCelebrating the Bronte Legacy in Banagher - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In 1861, Charlotte Bronte\u2019s husband, Arthur Bell Nicholls, returned from Haworth, the home of the Bronte\u2019s, to Hill House in Banagher.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/celebrating-the-bronte-legacy-in-banagher\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Celebrating the Bronte Legacy in Banagher - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In 1861, Charlotte Bronte\u2019s husband, Arthur Bell Nicholls, returned from Haworth, the home of the Bronte\u2019s, to Hill House in Banagher.
