On 2nd June 1819, Patrick Brontë was appointed perpetual curate of Haworth by the Vicar of Bradford.  On 21st October of that same year, he resigned because of a bitter dispute between the Vicar of Bradford and the trustees of the Haworth church.  As we all know he eventually took up the incumbency of Haworth where he served for many years.  We will discuss the dramatic events surrounding his appointment, as well as the style of his ministry.  We will also discuss some of the other incumbents and curates of Haworth as well as the churchmen in the Brontë novels.
