Description: Here we see Ferndean Manor, a house owned by Mr. Rochester. Jane had a vision of Mr. Rochester calling out to her and so she decided to return to Thornfield. Upon her return she found that Thornfield was burned down by Mr. Rochester’s wife, who died in the fire. Mr. Rochester was blinded helping others escape and had to have his hand amputated. He then relocated to Ferndean Manor. Jane went to Ferndean and was reunited with Mr. Rochester, and the two were married shortly after her return.
