In 'Jane Eyre', what is the name of the mansion where Mr. Rochester lives?

In “Jane Eyre,” Mr. Rochester lives at Thornfield Hall.

Thornfield Hall is the large, isolated mansion where Jane begins work as governess to Rochester’s ward, Adèle Varens. Much of the novel’s Gothic atmosphere gathers there: strange laughter echoes through the house, mysterious fires occur, and Jane hears unexplained events connected with a locked upper room.

The mansion is Rochester’s principal residence, but it is not his only important home. After Thornfield is destroyed by fire, Rochester retreats to Ferndean Manor, where Jane eventually finds him. Lowood School is the institution where Jane is educated and later teaches, while Gateshead Hall is the Reed family home from her childhood.

Charlotte Brontë published “Jane Eyre” in 1847. Thornfield’s apparent grandeur and hidden confinement mirror Rochester’s concealed past, especially the secret of Bertha Mason. The house therefore functions as more than a setting: it embodies the novel’s themes of secrecy, repression, danger, and emotional liberation.
