Over Haddon is a small village and civil parish in Derbyshire, England. The population of the civil parish (including Nether Haddon) at the 2011 Census was 255.[1] It is near the small town of Bakewell, south of the B5055 road.
Over Haddon overlooks Lathkill Dale and the River Lathkill, which may be crossed by a clapper bridge on a footpath running south from the village. The bridge may be medieval.[2] The village has two churches, a public house, and a car park.
Around the year 1667 Over Haddon was home to Martha Taylor, one of the earliest documented examples of a fasting girl, who claimed to be able to survive for months without food.[3]
The name "Haddon" means "Heath Hill", the "Over" referring to being above "Nether Haddon" (Haddon Hall).[4]
The site of a deserted medieval village, Conksbury, is on the south bank of the River Lathkill, between Over Haddon and Youlgreave.
Over Haddon is the birthplace of Maurice Oldfield, a former head of MI6 and reputedly the inspiration for both John le Carré's George Smiley[5] and 'M' in the James Bond books.[6][7] He died in 1981[7] and is buried in the village.[5]
