BRONTË enthusiasts throughout the Midlands and further afield are in for a major treat on Monday October 7th when a lecture by Ann Dinsdale and Sharon Wright entitled 'The Brontës in Bricks and Mortar' will be given in the Crank House Banagher at 5pm sharp (please note time).
Ann is Principal Curator of the Brontë Parsonage Museum and Sharon is an author and journalist who penned the acclaimed book ‘Mother of the Brontës’.
The talk will be followed by an interval for dinner. Afterwards a miscellany of music, song and words will be presented in Corrigans' Corner House pub at 8pm. The event is in honour of Arthur Bell Nicholls and his two wives Charlotte Brontë and Mary Anna Bell Nicholls and will include music and songs familiar to the Brontë family and readings from Brontë literature.
