North Lees Hall, Hathersage, Derbyshire, England, is significant to Jane Eyre (2011) because it is believed to have inspired Thornfield Hall, Mr. Rochester’s home in the story. North Lees Hall is a historic manor house near Hathersage that is connected to the Eyre family, which may have influenced Charlotte Brontë when writing Jane Eyre. I found this information from Historic England, a website that provides information about historic places in England. This source is an example of singular authorship because the information is created and maintained by an official organization rather than being edited by anyone online. Mapping this location on COVE lets future students build on what I found by connecting real places in England to the locations and ideas represented in Jane Eyre.
