Red House Museum, House museum in Gomersal, England
The Georgian-style manor house features red brick walls, stone quoins, and a stone slate roof with four gables at the back section.
The residence, constructed in 1660 by William Taylor, remained in his family's possession until 1920 as they transformed from farmers into cloth merchants.
Charlotte Bronte incorporated the house into her novel Shirley, naming it Briarmains and creating the Yorke family based on its residents.
The property includes period-accurate rooms from the 1830s, including a parlour, dining room, study, kitchen, and multiple bedchambers with authentic furnishings.
Methodist preachers John and Charles Wesley visited this residence, which stands out among local buildings due to its red brick construction.
