Haddon Hall, from the Bakewell-Road, 1854. Country house dating from the 11th century. 'Haddon-hall, the admiration of artists, of antiquaries, and of all true lovers of nature, is situated at the distance of 150 miles from London, in the county of Derby, and fourteen from Buxton. It was built by William the Conqueror, for his natural son, William Peveril...The ancient state room...is said to be the oldest room in Haddon...Upwards of 200 couples danced in the long gallery at the time of the conclusion of peace with America...After the visitor has seen all the rooms, he is conducted up a winding stair to the Eagle Tower, from which there is a fine view of the surrounding country'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
