HADDON: Huntingdonshire Parish #4 of 81

Описание: HUNTINGDONSHIRE PARISH #4: HADDON

Ok so last week we explored Morborne, a tiny village which sits just to the South of Haddon – an equally small location some eight miles away from Peterborough

Haddon is situated near the Great North road close to Cambridgeshire’s border with Northamptonshire. It’s bounded by both Billing Brook and Ermine Street

It’s gone by a few names over the centuries. In the 12th century this place was named “Haddune”, which became “Adone” some four centuries later, before eventually commuting to Haddon

Haddon is similar many ways to Morborne. It has a tiny population of less than 100, a decent amount of arable farmland and very few if any amenities

However one thing that sets it apart from its Southern neighbour would be how the village is laid out. Morborne is a linear string of houses, but Haddon is much more of a cluster

The village is noted for the church of St Mary which is where we begin this episode, and finally, we were able to get inside a church here in Huntingdonshire!

Also within its boundaries is a service station on the A1(M), which isn’t the easiest thing to get to from the village, as I’ll explain in this video

It’s another tiny, peaceful village in Huntingdonshire. What’s not to love?
