The Haddon Estate has been in the Vernon and now the Manners family for over 900 years (David Manners is the Duke of Rutland, who owns Moscar Moor and lives in Belvoir Castle, a shooting estate and home to the Belvoir Hunt – also listed on bloodbusiness.info). Haddon Hall according to its website, has featured in “no fewer than three different film adaptations of Jane Eyre… along with further high-profile productions such as Mary Queen of Scots, The Other Boleyn Girl, Pride & Prejudice and cult movie, The Princess Bride. Its 3,800 acres of Derbyshire land is situated in the Peak District National Park – a scenic place but an area packed with grouse shooting estates and an increasing number of pheasant shoots – of which Haddon is one, boasting under ‘Shooting‘ of “bags of 150-250 per day for a team of 8 guns”. In May 2025 the BBC’s Springwatch featured a piece on hares at Haddon – somewhat ironic given that in November 2020 Sheffield Hunt Saboteurs filmed the High Peak Harriers hunting hares on the Haddon Fields area of the Haddon Estate.
