The brooding master of Thornfield Hall in Jane Eyre (9)

I believe the answer is:

rochester

(Other definitions for rochester that I've seen before include "Bronte character" , "Man Jane married" , "Jane blindly married him" , "Earl of ---, C 17 poet" , "Dickens's favourite city - hero of 12" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
