Top Withins Farm on Stanbury Moor, West Yorkshire, is internationally famous as the inspiration for Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and visited every year by hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world. Apart from the Brontë connection it stands on the Pennine Way and is one of the highlights for the thousands who walk it each year. As well as tracing the history of the Withins farms and their inhabitants from 1567 to the present day, this book looks at the everyday life of the farmers who lived there. It gives a full account of the building history, farming practices, textile production and domestic life over the years.
