Haddon Hall In the Peak District. Part 1

Haddon Hall is an English country house on the River Wye near Bakewell, Derbyshire, a former seat of the Dukes of Rutland. It is the home of Lord Edward Manners (brother of the incumbent Duke) and his family. In form a medieval manor house, it has been described as "the most complete and most interesting house of [its] period". The origins of the hall are from the 11th century, with additions at various stages between the 13th and the 17th centuries, latterly in the Tudor style.
The Vernon family acquired the Manor of Haddon by a 12th-century marriage between Sir Richard de Vernon and Alice Avenell, daughter of William Avenell II. Four centuries later, in 1563, Dorothy Vernon, the daughter and heiress of Sir George Vernon, married John Manners, the second son of Thomas Manners, 1st Earl of Rutland. A legend grew up in the 19th century that Dorothy and Manners eloped. The legend has been made into novels, dramatisations and other works of fiction. She nevertheless inherited the Hall, and their grandson, also John Manners, inherited the Earldom in 1641 from a distant cousin. His son, another John Manners, was made 1st Duke of Rutland in 1703. In the 20th century, another John Manners, 9th Duke of Rutland, made a life's work of restoring the hall.

Hi Kevin the bridge you went over at the beginning is very much like the bridge at Stopham near Pulborough. Beautiful building and full of history, look forward to the next video thankyou Kevin

[@KevinsRambles]

Thank you, Fiona 😊.
It felt strange on that bridge with no parapets.
What a lovely place to visit 😊

How lovely that you went here. It’s years since I visited but I remember the gardens. Now you are nearing my territory Kevin. Hardwick Hall is just up the road and my ancestors were farmers in a village called Heath.

[@KevinsRambles]

Thank you, Dianne 😊.
What a lovely place it was, and Iso glad we went there.
Next time I am up that way, I shall look up Heath just for you. 😊
