HADEN OLD HALL OPEN DAYS
Haden Old Hall was the original house built on Haden Hill; often called the Tudor Hall but it is neither Tudor or a Hall. Haden Old Hall is in fact the smart home of the middle sort Haden family built in the later 1600s as the family wealth and status grew locally. It has had a chequered history and has been restored many times.
