@nina. I have loved since a teenager and I'm in my 60s now. I don't know if it's because I'm getting old and grumpy, but its not as it was. Some of the unique atmosphere has been lost. The gardens were once outstandingly beautiful, and the lovely tearoom has been upmarket, and little gift shop lost to artisan sellers. But the Hall itself is still the same, I love its history and the building and its setting. I used to visit every year, but ticket prices have gone a bit out of my reach. But I can understand why it has to be, especially the huge financial loss there must have been with Covid shutdowns. I just hope it can be looked after with sensitivity for many more years.

[@chrisisjustme7546]

@user-qh8nh7oe6d they rebuilt the big bay windows overlooking the gardens from the long gallery so I think they're really trying to preserve and restore... we love the hall too it magical. They do 30% discount for locals so we pay a little less... all good wishes from us both 😊

I first learned about this about two years ago while researching my family tree. My 12 times or so great grandmother was the original Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall. I did not know anything about this, but from my family tree, there was a couple of short stories recorded about the Dorothy Vernon legend, and after several plays were written and performed in London, Australia, and New York, in the 1923 or so a movie, starring a Mary Pickwith, was made. Dorothy Vernon was also a 12th Great Grandmother of Lady Diana Spencer, William and Harry's mother. The plays went thru several revisions over the years, with Dorothy ridding off during the night to rescue Mary Queen of Scots being persued by Qween Elizabeth I, and other revisions into Cromwell's occupation of England.

What a beautiful place and so amazingly original. What a treasure. One of my direct ancestral lines goes through Geoffrey Bolelyn and Anne Hoo, so Hever castle was their ancestral home. If the family who owns Haddon also owned Hever then we are most likely distantly related. How lucky they are to have ended up with it. I have direct ancestry also going back through the Fitz Allen and Howard families who still reside at Arundel castle. And I descend from the English Kings line. If all of these beautiful ancestral homes were a race I'd say that we missed winning it by a nose. 😃

[@karensullivan8458]

@@chrisisjustme7546 Thank you for the lovely reply. Yes, it was exactly that, second son syndrome and sometimes a daughter. I just started doing genealogy a year ago and was hoping to find maybe someone who was knighted so imagine my delight when I found so many royal connections. I've found that once you get back into the royal houses it is all that as they tried marrying their second sons and daughters into other royal houses. We go back into some houses through the first born heirs all the way back into legend. For instance, I just found one branch coming out of an English royal family that goes back into ancient Britain ruled by the Romans. It went then into Emperors and Caesars of Rome, through into Assyrian rulers and then finally back into Troy. Eventually coming out to Prince Aeneas who was the half mortal son of the Goddess Aphrodite!! As legend has it. He was said to be the last Trojan warrior because he was protected in battle by his Godly relatives in battle and because of this the only one who survived. His sons, were who Rome was named after and his Grandfathers, Ilus who Homer wrote the Ilead for and Ilus' son Tros, who founded Troy. Of course there is no real record going back that far, but they have the legend of who was born to who and it was going back that far and it was amazing to find. I am learning history this way in a way that I never knew it before. I loved this video of yours. It was so beautifully done.

Hi guys. I'm just curious, but have you any interest in great houses and palaces outside the UK? I got interested in these grand old structures when I was stationed in Frankfurt, Germany, during the cold war. I was stationed there from 1981-1983. I spent all my free time roaming old palaces and castles in Europe, from ruined and abandoned to privately owned, and everything in between. But the palace of Caserta is the one that blows me away. You have to see it to believe it. Love your videos.

Though Chatsworth is grandiose, Haddon Hall is much more cozy, it's more homely and less like a museum or showpiece. It's well worth visiting the two at around the same time to compare them. You could compare both with Hardwick Hall which isn't far from them. Go on a weekday or slightly off-season when it's less crowded but beware that Haddon closes for the winter season.

But we have to mute the audio and have captioning, which we would like to avoid because it interferes with the visuals. But it is difficult to get lost in the wonderful atmosphere of the place while hearing the constant presence of the background soundtrack. To us, it is an irritating and unnecessary addition to an otherwise fine video. Maybe you will reconsider its use here. But we did just subscribe, and we look forward to seeing more of your work.

Hi Carl and Susan... thankyou for watching, commenting and subscribing. Haddon is unique in its history and atmosphere, we love visiting . The gardens are a delight we could spend hours just wandering around outside. We have a Norfolk trip coming up and will certainly try a video without backing... We hope you have a good week and send you our best wishes 😊

@chrisisjustme7546 👩🏻‍💻🇺🇲I have seen 3 films on the list. Elizabeth, Lady Jane, and the Other Bolyn Girl. No wonder it's so familiar! ☺

@dolldoll2914 one of our favourite films is The other Boleyn girl! When you walk around the house it is like being in a period film! 😊

Yes, I agree. Wonder if this can be changed ?

@margaretbrooker9744 Hi Margaret... unfortunately not... thankyou for watching and taking the time to comment... sorry that the music is not to your taste... Best wishes from us both 😊

[@martyheresniak5203]

Why do content producers feel the need to fill the soundscape with annoying repeating music tracks and maddening drum backbeats?

[@chrisisjustme7546]

@martyheresniak5203 Thankyou for watching and for your comment... I'm sorry that the video wasn't to your taste and that you found it annoying. Best wishes to you 😊
