Abstract
This paper argues that Thurland Castle, a Gothic manor house near Turnstall Church, is a building that Charlotte Brontë would have seen and is the inspiration for Thornfield Hall in Jane Eyre. It describes the castle as it was in the 1820s and compares it to the description of Thornfield Hall in Jane Eyre.
