HADDO N H A L L
A FORTIFIED MEDIEVAL
MANOR HOUSE AND GARDENS
Haddon Hall, the private residence
of Lord Edward Manners, son of the
late 10th Duke of Rutland, is set in the
Peak District in the valley of the
River Wye.
With nine hundred years of history,
it is one of the oldest houses in
the country and moreover one of
the only houses in England to have
remained in one family’s ownership
for its entire existence.
Haddon Hall was originally the home
of the Vernon family, passing into the
ownership of the Manners family in
the 1500’s when Sir George Vernon
died leaving the Hall to his daughter
Dorothy and her husband Sir John
Manners, second son of Thomas
Manners, the 1st Earl of Rutland.
The secret of Haddon’s uniqueness
is the Hall having remained empty
for nearly two hundred years from
the 1700’s, the family preferring
to live in their main seat, Belvoir
Castle.
This absence left the house unaltered
during the modernising period of
the Georgians and Victorians, which
is why venturing into Haddon is like
stepping back in time.
The Tudor banqueting hall remains
furnished with its original dais table,
behind which is a tapestry gifted by
Henry VIII to the family as a thank
you. The parlour boasts a glorious
painted ceiling of Tudor roses.
Exquisite fifteenth century frescoes
adorn the walls of the Norman
chapel, which retains its original
Saxon font.
The extravagant first floor
Elizabethan rooms present
wonderful Bombée Venetian glass
windows culminating with the 110
ft Robert Smythson designed Long
Gallery; reputed to be one of the
most beautiful rooms in England.
www.haddonhall.co.uk

The terraced walled gardens are
Elizabethan and cascade down to
the River Wye. Recently re-designed
by Chelsea award winning gardener,
Arne Maynard, these make an
equally important element of any
visit to the Hall.
(01629) 812855
5
The Hall and gardens are open
to the public between 8th April
and October, and for 20 days in
December.
Haddon is an exquisite and valuable
venue for any tour company wishing
to provide an intriguing insight
into early England’s historical,
architectural and social past.
Personal photography is permitted
throughout the Hall and gardens.
We hope this document provides
you with all the information you
require to determine what tour you
wish to book and a deeper insight
to all that Haddon can offer.
GENERAL EXHIBITIONS
Exhibitions within the Hall that visitors can explore,
with a leaflet, in their own time including:
Shadows and Whispers, a sculpture exhibition by Nik
Ramage. 1st August to 30th September daily
An exhibition of mechanical sculptures by Nik Ramage,
to be found throughout the public spaces of Haddon,
peep into the Hall’s living past. Some are in plain
sight, others are tucked into corners or nestled into
nooks, all of them adjusting to their historic temporary
surroundings.
Just as Haddon is composed of buildings from different
eras, Ramage’s contraptions are assembled from
various times, contemporary and antiquated co-exist,
altering our perception of the present and the future.
Nik Ramage’s sculptures celebrate the uncertain and
the odd and throughout Haddon you will find these
misaligned machines and wonky contraptions, each
comfortable with their respective quirks, running on
Haddon Time. Allowing your imagination to run wild
with curiosity and enjoy the freedom to contemplate
the unknown and the unexpected.

Easter Exhibition by Dr. Patrick Harding
8th April to 1st May
The intricate fifteenth-century carvings
on the Nottingham alabaster reredos
in the Chapel depict the Passion and
Resurrection of Christ as told in the
Gospels, and set the scene for this
exhibition on the origins and customs of
the Easter festival.
We explore the traditions of Easter – from
Lent to Maundy money, Haddon’s hares
to Easter bunnies, simnel cakes, hot cross
buns and eggs – and their links to Christian
and pagan beliefs down the centuries.
Dr Harding’s talk at Haddon on Saturday 15
April at 12.00 noon will delve more deeply
into the history and folklore of Easter. The
Hall will be decorated with Easter lilies and
chocolate eggs.
(01629) 812855
7
Flowers - 1st June to 30th September
Floral representations are displayed throughout the rooms at Haddon
Hall; on the plasterwork, frescoes, art and tapestries. This exhibition
explores the symbolic value and the messages they were intended to
portray; demonstrating not only the skills of medieval craftsmanship,
but key points in history including royal and religious symbolism and
fashion statements of the period.
GENERAL
HALL TOURS
Lasting approximately an
hour and fifteen minutes,
our most popular tour
explores the 900 year

Haddon, how the Tudor
kitchens functioned, the

more…

many fascinating and important

require further study.

GLASS, GA RGOYLES
& GRAFFITI TOUR
As Haddon Hall developed from a
semi-fortified medieval dwelling to a
fine country residence over a period
of 400 years, the architectural
materials used – and marks of the
men who used them – provide an
intriguing insight in to the history of
this ancient site.
This tour studies Haddon’s
architecture; the curious and
ancient gargoyles; the signatures
and mason marks of the builders
(01629) 812855
11
and the poetic verse etched into
the window panes, inscribed using
diamond rings by the romantic
Elizabethans.
Haddon’s eight gargoyles were
added in the 16th century by
Sir George Vernon to illustrate
Haddon’s status for supreme
hospitality and include
representations of a carver, minstrel,
jester, servant, cook and musician.
Out in the gardens, the tour takes
visitors to see the building’s
sparkling windows, made out of
Venetian Bombée glass and built
with deliberate opulence, an utter
luxury in Medieval architectural
terms from which Tudor lords
and ladies would have viewed the
landscape. The windows are still
breath-taking and unusual for a
modern visitor to see.
This tour offers the visitor a chance
to encounter the architecture
of Haddon in a fun and unusual
manner, by studying the materials
of the past.
Tour Length: 1hr 15mins
THE CHAPEL TOUR
– ONE OF THE
MOST BEAUTIFUL
CHAPELS IN
ENGLAND
A study of the Chapel at Haddon
and its impact on its community
and worshippers
Once the Parish Church of Nether
Haddon, the Norman and Medieval
Chapel has an extensive array of
15th century fresco wall paintings
and stained glass, as well as a
very rare decorative Nottingham
Alabaster reredos found by the 9th
Duke of Rutland in Reykjavik during
his restoration of the Hall.
The Italian marble effigy is a copy
of the original which is located
in Belvoir Castle and is of Robert
Charles John Manners, Lord
Haddon, the son of the 8th Duke of
Rutland who died aged 9 in 1894.
Moving forward into the 21st
century is one of the ceramic
poppies created by Derbyshire born
artist, Paul Cummins and Tom Piper
for the major art installation ‘Blood
Swept Lands and Seas of Red at
The Tower of London’.
The chapel gives us an insight into
a time when religion played a huge
part of everyday life.
This tour explores the religious
practices of Pre-Reformation man
and woman, and looks at how they
used church buildings.

HADDON’S
TAPESTRIES TOUR
Haddon Hall houses a magnificent
collection of English, Flemish and
French tapestries. This tour is ideal for
those with an interest in historic textile
Haddon is home to some of England’s
most important tapestries. One of the
oldest tapestries in England hangs in
the banqueting Hall - a fine example
of French tapestry depicting the Royal
Arms of England which was reputedly
presented to the Vernon Family by
King Henry VIII in thanks for looking
after his elder brother, Arthur.
The collection also contains the 17th
century ‘Five Senses’ Tapestries woven
in Mortlake, commissioned by Charles
I. Following the King’s execution in
1649, the Council of State ordered that
these be sold and the family bought
them for a mere £270!
The tour not only studies these and
the other wonderful tapestries that
shroud the walls but also delves into
the tragedy of a fire in 1925 that
destroyed nearly 60 exquisite pieces.

A TASTE OF THINGS
TO COME I N 2018
HADDON HALL SHALL BE OPENING FROM 24TH MARCH
2018 THROUGH TO 30TH SEPTEMBER 2018, WITH
ADDITIONAL DATES IN OCTOBER AND DECEMBER
Please contact the Bookings Administrator to confirm 2018 opening
times and dates.
FOR 2018, WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT OUR
EXHIBITION ‘SHAKESPEARE AND HADDON – THE
CONNECTION UNVEILED’
In 2018, Haddon Hall will present a new exhibition that sheds light
on the suggestion that Roger Manners, the 5th Earl of Rutland,
was in fact the secret author of Shakespeare’s plays, exploring and
examining the reasons why he has been advanced as a candidate
for authorship.
Intriguingly close connections between Shakespeare and the
Rutland family has focussed attention on Roger Manners and the
exhibition draws closer attention to the coterie of playwrights
and poets surrounding Elizabeth Sidney, the Countess of Rutland.
Discussion surrounds the possibility that she herself may have
written a feminine response to a masculine song that Shakespeare
deployed in Twelfth Night and takes a closer look at tombs and a
mysterious lost painting.
It also explores the Shoreditch area where the Rutland family
resided in London and, more significantly, where Shakespeare’s
company premiered important plays. Perhaps no co-incidence?
Did Shakespeare ever visit Haddon? The exhibition will examine all
the evidence.
Courtesy of The Duke of Rutland, Belvoir Castle
Although the Manners case shares the weaknesses of all ‘antiStratfordian’ arguments – there may not be powerful reasons for
thinking that Shakespeare wasn’t Shakespeare – it plunges us deep
into the fascinating world of Jacobean Court intrigue and gives much
food for thought.
For tour groups that are interested in this exhibition, we will be
providing preview tours for the operators from September 2017.
Please contact us for further information.
