Queen Camilla has accepted an invitation to become Royal Patron of a museum and educational centre at the location where the Bront\u00eb sisters were born.<\/b><\/p>\n
The Queen officially opened The Bront\u00eb Birthplace in Thornton, Bradford, in May 2025 after it was opened to the public for the first time in its 200-year history following a fundraising campaign.<\/p>\n
Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bront\u00eb, as well as brother Branwell, were all born in the house on Market Street, now under public ownership, between 1816 and 1820.<\/p>\n
Cathy Boyden, chair of the Bront\u00eb Birthplace, said: “Her Majesty’s patronage is a wonderful endorsement of what has been achieved so far and gives us great encouragement as we look to the future.”<\/p>\n
Boyden added: “Our first year has been a remarkable journey, made possible by the dedication of volunteers, supporters, members, funders and visitors who believed in the vision of bringing this historic building back to life.”<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the museum, which also offers overnight stays, said since it had opened, it had welcomed “thousands of visitors from across the UK and around the world”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
