NOTTINGHAM - Robin Hood
HAWORTH - Haworth Cemetery
Because the the sanitary conditions and sewage systems in Haworth during the 1800s were less than satisfactory, many people died young during this time. The average age of a citizen of Haworth during the time of the Brontes was 22. The Haworth Cemetery, below, though much smaller in size, hold the same number of bodies as the Gettysburg Cemetery in Pennsylvania.

HAWORTH - Top Withins
Top Withins, the destination of our seven mile hike through the moors, was a common place where members of the Bronte family would walk to. Top Withins is supposedly the inspiration for Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights.
NOTTINGHAM - Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem

| Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, in Nottingham, is the oldest existing pub in England |
 |
| The ceiling of the Jerusalem was very cave-like, with lots of cobwebs |
 |
| Demon Katy! |

| If you sat in this chair, you would become pregnant within the year. However, sitting was off limits because the chair was too old. Or actually worked. Who knows. I didn't sit in it. |
