Unfortunately, the talk originally planned for 10 February – on the “History of Horology” – has been rearranged for January 2027.
The talk will now be about Haddon Hall, which will be delivered by Maggie Burnet, the Archivist at the Hall who writes: “The Manners family left Haddon Hall for Belvoir Castle in around 1720. The hall remained unoccupied by the family until the 1920s when the 9th Duke of Rutland returned to restore it.
“Haddon had been described as the best preserved mediaeval Manor House in England. My talk will explore Haddon’s fascinating history dating back 900 years and focus on the Duke’s work using material from the Haddon archives.”
