As Ian Warrell has noted,1 this particular view of Haddon Hall, inverted relative to the sketchbook’s foliation, shows the interior of the Upper Courtyard with the Eagle Tower (also called Peverel’s Tower) the most prominent feature at the north corner. For other views see under folio 24 recto (D22192).
