HADDON (OVER), a township in the parish of
BAKEWELL, hundred of HIGH-PEAK, county of DERBY
2 miles (S. W. by S.) from Bakewell, containing 266 inhabitants.
At this place is Haddon Hall, one of the ancient
baronial mansions, delightfully situated on a
gentle, eminence overlooking the river Wye; the venerable
castellated towers rising above the woods produce
a magnificent effect, and as the whole building is still in
nearly a perfect state, it is an object of general interest
and curiosity.
