Charlotte Brontë
On 31st March 1855 Charlotte Brontë passed away, leaving a literary legacy that has been and continues to be appreciated around the world.

William Carus Wilson, the founder of the school. The published text does not go so far as to blame him for the deaths of two Brontë sisters, but even so the Carus Wilson family published a rebuttal with the title "A refutation of the statements in 'The life of Charlotte Bronte,' regarding the Casterton Clergy Daughters' School, when at Cowan Bridge".
