If you're like me, then you're waiting with bated breath for the new adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, starring Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender. Here's a sneak peek of the gorgeous and ancient house, Haddon Hall, that plays the role of Thornfield in this new film.

Haddon Hall was first built in the 12th century and was slowly expanded through the early 1600s. Restored faithfully in the 1920s, it serves as an unusually intact example of a true medieval manor house.

The furniture pictured is mostly from the 17th-19th centuries. Like Jane herself, these interiors are products of their long-ago time, and yet surprisingly contemporary and relevant.
