The beautiful bombée glass in Haddon's Long Gallery windows continues to delight throughout the summer. There’s something wonderfully otherworldly about bombée glass — its gentle curves catching and bending the light, turning every view beyond into something softer, stranger and more beautiful.
A little piece of historic craftsmanship, still shimmering today.

Last week we were delighted to welcome Hanny Newton, Haddon Hall's very first Artist in Residence.
During her stay, Hanny spent time immersed in our Medieval Park, returning to grasses she had already gathered from the parkland. Exploring their unique properties, she carefully transformed them into beautifully spun thread – revealing the extraordinary potential of the natural landscape.
We're so excited to see how her time at Haddon continues to inspire future work. Watch this space...

As the day draws to a close, the evening light shines through the ancient doorway in Haddon's North West Tower. It's a summer scene that has changed little for centuries. Sometimes, all you need to do is pause and watch the light.

Early light in the Great Chamber. When it’s hot and sunny outside, sometimes the hall is a welcome place of cool retreat.

Haddon's Great Chamber was built as a solar. A solar was the private family apartment in a medieval or Tudor house, set apart from the busy public rooms below. Warm, comfortable and often well lit, it provided a place to sleep, read, sew, pray or conduct personal business. It was a retreat where the household's owners could enjoy privacy and quiet. The huge windows in the Great Chamber make it one of the lightest parts of the hall.
