Hotel History
The first recorded owner of the George was the Duke of Devonshire, who sold it to one James Eyre in 1839; in 1841 it was acquired by James Morton, who must have developed his hostelry significantly, for a writer of the day appears to have been the first to refer to it as a 'Hotel'.

Perhaps as a consequence of that another writer, the since acclaimed Charlotte Bronte, whilst visiting friends at Hathersage vicarage, became a familiar patron at the George. Indeed she was evidently so enchanted by Hathersage that she used it and its characters as models for one of her books, Jane Eyre. Charlotte Bronte based the name of her heroine Jane on the Eyre family who previously owned the George, and set her story in Hathersage, renaming it Morton after James Morton the George Hotel's landlord.

Coincidentally but more recently, the present owner of the George, Eric Marsh, a tenant of the Duke of Devonshire's estate, appeared in the 1995 film 'Jane Eyre' shot on location in the Peak District.
