Description: Here we see the Wycoller bridge, near the manor house called Wycoller Hall in the village of Wycoller in Lancashire. After hearing Mr. Rochester’s voice calling to her while at Moor House, Jane decided she had to return to Thornfield to see him. When she arrived, she found that Thornfield had been burnt down, and Mr. Rochester had moved to Ferndean Manor. Jane then married Mr. Rochester and moved into Ferndean Manor. The same image appears in the 1899 Harper edition of Jane Eyre.
