The Untold Story of Anne Brontë’s Robinson Family

When Anne Brontë left Thorp Green Hall in the summer of 1845, she probably thought she was stepping away from one part of her life. But what really became of the Robinson family she had been a governess for, and how was their household affected by her brother Branwell’s scandal during his time as tutor?

In this video, we explore the twists, scandals, and tragedies that shaped the Robinsons’ lives after Anne’s departure. From elopements and secret marriages to unexpected deaths, the story of Mrs Robinson and her children is filled with drama that might have come straight from a novel.
Join me as I uncover the fates of the family at Thorp Green, visiting the very church where Anne would have sought guidance and reflected on the events unfolding around her.
