1870: Dorothy Vernon leaving by the side entrance of Haddon Hall after falling in love with John Manners, son of the first Earl of Rutland in the 16th Centuty. Her father, Sir George, disapproved because the Manners were Protestants, and the Vernons were Catholics. Shielded by the crowd during a ball given by Sir George, Dorothy slipped away and fled through the gardens, down stone steps and over a footbridge where Manners was waiting for her. They eloped and married and the story has been featured in literature and film. The Hall is near Bakewell, Derbyshire, England
