Haddon Hall

Castellated house, standing on the River Wye, England, 3 km/2 mi southeast of Bakewell, Derbyshire. The first house was fortified around 1195, but little of the Norman structure remains.

The main building periods were the years around 1370 (the hall and parlour), early 15th century to early 16th century (the chapel and lower courtyard), and 1600 (the long gallery). Between 1700 and the careful restoration of the 20th century, the building remained untouched.

Before the Norman Conquest, Haddon was the property of the Crown, but William I granted it to William Peveril. It has been successively in the families of Avenell, Vernon, and Manners. The house is now seasonally open to the public.
