Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte stayed at Hathersage Church Vicarage for three weeks in the summer of 1845, the year before she started to write Jane Eyre. So she would have been very aware of the chime of the church clock, the sound Jane Eyre hears that draws her to 'Morton'.
Charlotte Bronte walked up to the moors and also visited North Lees Hall, then occupied by Mary Eyre and her family. There are Eyre family graves in the churchyard. Many believe Hathersage was the 'Morton' of Jane Eyre and that North Lees Hall was the model for 'Thornfield'.
Scenes from Jane Eyre 2006 were filmed on Stanage Edge.

I need a setting in England for my book that has rolling grassy hills,lots of full trees and is close to a small village.Is Derbyshire like that or is it all bare moors.

@DreamPrincess010 I think the answer to your question is in the film.

Hi/Thank you for the lovely images./One little comment: my, how the birds sing! I live in Montréal, and the only time where you hear birds singing like this in the city is in the spring./I have often wondered if some sound engineering had been done for all these JE productions -- now after your video, I see that the birdsong is real!/Sorry if I sound silly./Hope to visit the place one day. Perhaps once I have finished my doctorate./Cheers.

Thanks for your comment bp1963p. I have to admit to a little 'sound engineering' myself on this video. However the chime of the church clock is as recorded live in the churchyard. Sorry to disappoint ...

@moontide266 You could try Google Earth and enter Jaggers Lane in the search box. Otherwise try searching Google images for Hathersage. It's amazing what you can find this way.
