Story of mansion that Charlotte Bronte loved is reminder to preserve and celebrate heritage - The Yorkshire Post says

But the story of Red House is a reminder that preserving and celebrating heritage involves many elements.

Smaller, less frequented sites like this one in Gomersal are, in their own way, just as essential to telling the story of this county’s past as the larger, more popular attractions such as the Brontë Parsonage.

Yorkshire’s cultural heritage is especially rich and to do it justice, it is important that sites that contribute to that are preserved for the community and their history celebrated.
