The haddock is usually less than 

 2 ft. in length, though 3 ft, is 

 occasionally reached. Haddocks 

 are found in shoals, and feed mainly 

 on molluscs, small crustaceans, and 

 the spawn and fry of other fish. 

 They are taken in the trawl net and 

 also on lines baited with mussels. 

 They spawn in winter near the 

 coast, and it is estimated that a 

 large specimen will lay 1,500,000 

 eggs in the season. Economically 

 the haddock is a most important 

 food fish. It is largely eaten fresh, 

 hut is also split and smoked, the 

 best qualities being known as finnan 

 haddocks from Finnan or Findon, 

 Kincardincshire. See Fish.

Haddon Hall. Ancient baronial 

 mansion in Derbyshire, England. 

 Picturesquely environed and situ- 

 ated on a limestone foundation 

 above the left bank of the Wye, 

 2 m. S.E. of Bakewell, on the road 

 to Derby, it passed from the 

 Norman family of Peveril or 

 Peverel to that of Avenell, and 

 then, in the 12th century, to the 

 Vernons. Towards the close of the 

 16th century, by the marriage of 

 Dorothy Vernon to Sir John 

 Manners, it passed to the Rutlands. 



Maintained in a state of careful 

 preservation by the Rutlands, 

 though not used by them as a 

 dwelling since the early part of the 

 18th century, Haddon consists of 

 two quadrangles on different levels. 



Features are the 12th-15th century 

 chapel, 14th-17th century banquet- 

 ing hall, tapestried drawing-room, 

 Elizabethan Long Gallery or ball- 

 room^-Haddon's special glory 

 ante-room with steps to the winter 

 garden, tapestried state bedroom, 

 kitchen, dining-room, Eagle or 

 Peveril' s Tower and terrace. 



With the terrace steps is associ- 

 ated the legend of Dorothy Vernon's 

 elopement with Sir John Manners, 

 first mentioned in print about 1820, 

 fostered by Eliza Meteyard and 

 other writers of fiction, and revived 

 by Sir Arthur Sullivan's opera.

 Scott with materials for his picture 

 of Martindale Hall in Peveril of
