The Anne Bronte Scarborough Connection m.armitage@sheffield.ac.uk Tel: Fax: www.shef.ac.uk/misc/personal/cs1ma/anne/bronte.html This work is both a literary, and a pictorial account of the life of Anne Brontë, with a particular focus on her connections with the seaside resort of Scarborough; a place she loved; a place she portrayed in both her novels - Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall; a place where she wished to open her own school, and the place where she ultimately died and was buried. In 1897, a journalist declared 'It is impossible to stand by the tomb of the authoress of "Agnes Grey" and "The Tenant" without becoming possessed of a great yearning to know more about her'; and it was this sentiment, coupled with the knowledge of the hundreds of people who visit Anne's grave at Scarborough each year, that inspired me to create this web-site. The links below will take you to a range of pages - covering various aspects of Anne, her life, and her achievements.

Family History Centres Stepheny Drive / Whitby Road, Scarborough Tel: 01723 501026 Fax: www.lds.org.uk/index.htm The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often known as the Mormons) was organised in 1830. Many think of the Church as an American organisation but few appreciate that it has been present in the British Isles since 1837. Between then and the turn of the century around 100,000 converts joined the Church in Britain before emigrating. For over 50 years, from 1840 onwards, the Church was dominated by British converts. Even today a significant portion of the American members are descended from those British converts. Many important events took place here and many of the Church's well known leaders gained experience while labouring on our shores.With around 180,000 members currently in the British Isles, this web site sets out to provide an understanding of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, its British history and the activities of the Church here now. It provides a useful resource both to members of the Church and to those interested in finding out more.
