As the entrance to this from the road is at the side, the path goes round the corner into the little plot of ground.

Underneath the windows is a narrow flower-border, carefully tended in days of yore, although only the most hardy plants could be made to grow there.

Within the stone wall, which keeps out the surrounding churchyard, are bushes of elder and lilac; the rest of the ground is occupied by a square grass- plot and a gravel walk.

The house is of grey stone, two stories high, heavily roofed with flags, in order to resist the winds that might strip off a lighter covering.

It appears to have been built about a hundred years ago, and to consist of four rooms on each story; the two windows on the right (as the visitor stands with his back to the church, ready to enter in at the front door) belonging to Mr.Bronte's study, the two on the left to the family sitting-room.
