Bronte Chapel

The Bronte Memorial Chapel is inside St Michael and All Angels Church, Haworth. It was completed in 1964.

The 17th Century Communion table would have been used for the notable services of the reverend William Grimshaw.
Originally in the old church which was built in 1655 and pulled down in 1879, it was restored to the present church in 1962.
