Milcote, spelled as Millcote in Jane Eyre, is a village in Warwickshire, England. Prior to 1894, Milcote was included in the Weston-upon Avon civil parish; Milcote became its own civil parish--or county, as is equivalent in America--with a small population of about 50 people with its borders reaching 2 miles in length and a little over 600 acres of land. It runs along the rivers Avon and Stour, just south of their junction. It saw a boom during the mid-1800s when the railway ran through and created a small bustle from the industry.

Connacht is a province of western Ireland, made up of the five contemporary counties “Mayo, Sligo, Leitrim, Galway, and Roscommon” (Encyclopedia Britannica). Prior to English colonization, it was one of the five major Gaelic kingdoms. Notably, according to Encyclopedia Britannica, “most of the province remained loyal to the English crown during the Tyrone uprising (1595–1603) and also remained the most Gaelic…part of Ireland” (Encyclopedia Britannica).
