Bridewell is significant to Jane Eyre because it is one of the places mentioned in the game of charades they play during the party at Thornfield (Brontë, 167). Bridewell was originally St. Bride's church, but then was expanded into a palace, before it caught fire in 1666. After the fire, it was used as a prison until it closed in 1855, in the place where Bridewell once stood is Bridewell Court. This information comes from the Map of Early London Website, https://mapoflondon.uvic.ca/BRID2.htm. This location illustrates Gothic convention because it was a historic building, and at the time of the writing of Jane Eyre it was a prison, which correlates to the element of imprisonment within the Gothic genre. Bridewell being mentioned during the game of charades alludes to the Gothic genre, as one of the words Rochester uses is 'bride' which, when adding bride and prison together, I think of Bertha/the madwoman in the attic. Mapping this location on COVE reveals how the novel's real geography grounds its Gothic atmosphere by showcasing the historic in which it was built. The current Bridewell Court is located at 14 New Bride Street, in the heart of London, north of Blackfriars Bridge.
