Over Haddon is a small village in Derbyshire, England. It is located near the small town of Bakewell, near 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. It has two churches, a public house, and a car park. The former head of MI6, Maurice Oldfield (allegedly the inspiration for 'M' in the James Bond books〔(Cressbrook.Derbyshire site )〕) was born, and is buried, in the village.〔(Over Haddon webpage )〕 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.〔Derbyshire gatherings: a fund of delight for the antiquary, the historian..
