The hall dates back to the 11th century and is currently occupied by Lord Edward Manners, the brother of the Duke of Rutland. Haddon Hall has been described as "the most complete and most interesting house of [its] period". The interior and exterior have been used for several movies including The Princess Bride, Jane Eyre, and Pride & Prejudice, as well as TV productions including BBCs Jane Eyre and Gunpowder. In the 1700s the family moved to another property, Belvoir Castle, and Haddon Hall was rarely used thereafter. So it lay almost in its unaltered 16th-century condition, as it had been when it passed in 1567 by marriage to the Manners family. In the 1920s, John Manners, the 9th Duke of Rutland, realised its importance and began a lifetime of meticulous restoration.
