Description: Here we see an image of Moorseats, a house in the village of Hathersage, a village in Derbyshire. After running away from Thornfield after ending her engagement to Mr. Rochester Jane ended up in Morton, which was based on the real village of Hathersage. She arrived at Moor house with Mr. Rivers and his sisters, Diana and Mary. She lived with them for several months and taught at the village school before returning to Mr. Rochester. The same image appears in the 1899 Harper edition of Jane Eyre.
