This isn’t history restored — it’s history uninterrupted. 📍 Haddon Hall, Derbyshire, England. Haddon Hall has stood above the River Wye since the Middle Ages, largely untouched for over four hundred years. While other great houses chased fashion, this one was abandoned — and preserved by accident. Medieval halls. Tudor craftsmanship. Elizabethan gardens still clinging to the hillside. What you’re seeing isn’t restoration. It’s rare, uninterrupted survival. For more Stories in Stone, follow @xpl
