The new Wuthering Heights film has brought the Brontë name back into headlines - and highlighted the Ulster roots of the literary family. Patrick Brontë, the father of novelist Emily Brontë and her sisters Charlotte and Anne, is still remembered in the Co Down townland of his birth. “A lot of folks didn't realise that the Brontë roots are from this part of the world,” says Rachel Hume, a descendant of Emily Brontë’s uncle who now lives in Lisburn. “I’m very proud to be a Brontë.” #wutheringheigh
