North Lees Hall, Hathersage

North Lees Hall is a Grade II-listed hall owned by the Peak District National Park Authority.
Sometimes a Derbyshire building, or landmark is the inspiration. Around the village of Hathersage Charlotte Bronte was inspired by North Lees Hall to create Thornfield Hall, where Jane Eyre was governess -
“The grey and battlemented hall was the principal object in the vale below me; its woods and dark rookery rose against the west.”
