Haddon Hall (Derbyshire), used with Chatsworth in the new Pride and Prejudice film, is a home of the Dukes of Rutland.
Normanby Hall (near Scunthorpe), featured on the Antiques Roadshow tonight, was the home of the Sheffield family until about forty years ago. Sir Robert was Speaker under Henry VIII and the family took the Duchy of Buckingham briefly in the eighteenth century.
Hatfield House, visited by the Society (sadly excluding myself) in May is the home of the Cecils, now Marquises of Salisbury. The surprising news is that the 3rd Cecil Earl (seventeenth century) was married to a Manners heiress.
If the present Marquis is descended from them then he is also descended from Anne of Exeter, meaning that the Salisbury title has "come home" to Richard's collateral descendants. It shouldn't take much surfing and corroboration to test that!

Incidentally, I recorded S****** last night but he left out Thomas
Stafford and (so far) Henry of Huntingdon. I think the program ended
in about 1587, Mary Stuart being executed but the Armada is next week.
