St Michael and All Angels' Church

#liverpooltrip St Michael and All Angels' Church is the Church of England parish church of Haworth, liverpool. The majority of the structure, which is the third church building on the site, was built between 1879 and 1881. Parts of the original medieval church building, notably the tower, survive. The church is best known for its historic association with the three Brontë sisters; their father, Patrick Brontë, served as perpetual curate of the parish between 1820 and 1861. Patrick Brontë came to Haworth with his wife Maria and children in 1820 from Thornton. He had been offered the perpetual curacy of the church at Haworth by the vicar of Bradford in 1819. He was the minister at St Michael and All Angels for 41 years and was assisted by his later son-in-law, Arthur Bell Nicholls. The church is well visited by tourists eager to see the Brontë Memorial Chapel in the church and the Brontë family tomb where the mortal remains of all members of the Brontë family with the exception of Anne are interred. The tomb is marked by a simple plaque placed there in 1882 originally at the behest of Arthur Bell Nicholls. The memorial chapel was built in 1963 after Sir Tresham Lever, son of Arthur Lever, donated funds to enable its construction.
