HADDON HALL
Haddon Hall, in Derbyshire, one of England s most famous ancient mansions, dating back to William the Conqueror, is having a brief public reopening before again becoming one of the Duke of Rutland s residences, after being unoccupied iUU years.
Many overseas visitors (writes the London correspondent of the "Christian Science Monitor") are among those coming to see the steps where 16th century Dorothy Vernon met John Manners second son of the Earl of Rutland, who is said to have lived some time in the woods round Haddon Hall disguised as a gamekeeper, until he persuaded Dorothy to elope with him, whence cometh the romance for which Haddon is famous. The old kitchen is among the most interesting sights, but to-day's mansion is a combination of ancient and modern, for electric lighting and other improvements have been introduced.
