Anne Bronte Research Articles

Excursion, 1938

An altogether new venue was selected this year for the annual excursion of the Society, which took place on Saturday, the 28th May. Scarborough—or, more particularly, the grave of Anne Brontë—was the object of our pilgrimage.Eighty-nine years ago almost to the day (on the 24th and 25th May, 1849), Anne Bronte, accompanied by her sister Charlotte and Ellen Nussey, made the same journey.About forty members and friends went by coach and private cars, the first halt being made at York, where visits were paid to the Treasurer's House and the Minster.
