Here is a show notes page accompanying this episode, recorded at Haddon Hall. No ordinary house, Haddon stands as one of the oldest and most evocative residences in England. Untouched for nearly two centuries, Haddon was left to slumber, unmodernised, unspoiled. And because of that, stepping inside today is like walking straight into the Tudor world.
