AN organisation working to maintain and restore a historic Haworth building will receive a £250 grant from the village's parish council.
Haworth, Cross Roads and Stanbury Parish Council agreed to give the money to Bronte Spirit, which looks after The Old School Room, in Church Street.
Councillors considered a request for funding from the group at their latest full meeting.
They were told that Bronte Spirit is working on a £1,050 scheme to replace a floor covering in the building's kitchen and toilets.
Council chairman Cllr Gary Swallow said the organisation had applied for £500, but noted the upper limit for this type of parish council grant is £250.
Members voted in favour of providing this smaller sum to the applicants.
Cllr David Mahon declared an interest in the item as a member of Bronte Spirit, so did not vote.
The Old School Room was originally built by Reverend Patrick Brontë, father of the famous authoress sisters Charlotte, Emily and Anne.
