This place is significant to Jace Eyre because: Norton Conyers in North Yorkshire is widely believed to be the primary real-life inspiration for Mr. Rochester's fictional estate, Thornfield Hall, In Charlotte Brontës novel Jane Eyre. Charlotte Brontë visited the Norton Conyers manor house in 1839 while working nearby as a governess. During her time there, she learned a local family legend about a madwoman from the previous century who had been confined to an attic room. This dark myth is credited with inspiring the character of Bertha Mason- the mad Mrs. Rochester locked in the third-story attic at Thornfield. The discovery in 2004 of a blocked staircase connecting the first floor to the attics and clearly mentioned in the novel, aroused world-wide interest in Norton Conyers and confirmed it as a principal inspiration for 'Thornfield Hall'.
