The Lower Courtyard at Haddon Hall

Haddon Hall, on the River Wye near Bakewell in Derbyshire, Is a real setback in time!

 

The Hall is a former seat of the Dukes of Rutland. Today, it is the home of Lord Edward Manners (the brother of the incumbent Duke) and his family. In form it is a medieval manor house, and 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.
