Mr. Rochester's house in Jane Eyre is called Thornfield Hall.

It is thought to be maybe based on Haddon Hall, which is close to Bakewell, Derbyshire. Another possible inspiration for Thornfield Hall is North Lees Hall in Hathersage.

Why does Jane marry Rochester?

I am currently in the midst of reading this book, however, I come to wonder the same and suppose that it might be Rochester's bizarre way of developing a 'pet name' for Jane. Consider that he claims to love her for who and how she is- however, he is constantly making attempts to glorify or romanticize Jane's appearance. He wishes to dress her in vivid colors, laces, frills, and jewels-- this contradicts Jane as a whole. She is a simple person unimpressed by the 'finer things in life'. In this sense, it is almost as though calling her "Janet" is an extension of Rochester's mental appeal of changing Jane from being plain to something more extravagant.
