From the Wikipedia article
Norton Conyers House is a grade II* listed late medieval manor house with Stuart and Georgian additions, in North Yorkshire, England, some 4 miles (7 km) north of Ripon. The frontage has distinctive Dutch-style gables and is thought to be the inspiration for Charlotte Brontë's novel Jane Eyre. Brontë visited Norton Conyers in 1839 as governess to the then-tenants' grandchildren. The house has a family legend of a madwoman confined in the attics. It has an 18th-century garden surrounding an Orangery. It is built in two storeys with a four-bay frontage to a square floor plan of brick with a Westmorland slate roof. The nearby stable block is also grade II listed.

Background
History
The manor of Norton Conyers once belonged to Richard Norton, but was confiscated when he was attainted after the failure of the Rising of the North in 1569. After briefly belonging to the Musgraves it was acquired by Sir Richard Graham (–1654) in 1624 and, except for 20 years between 1862 and 1882, has remained in the Graham family ever since. Sir Richard Graham was a Royalist from Cumberland who was wounded in 1644 at the Battle of Marston Moor. The Graham Baronetcy, of Norton Conyers in the County of York, was created in the Baronetage of England on 17 November 1662 for Richard Graham (1636–1711), the second son of Sir Richard Graham (–1654), in honour of his services to the Restoration…
