Description	Darby Haddon (1906-1990) had an interesting farming and sporting career, culminating in his final farm, Stone Farm, Exford. He regularly hunted and stalked deer, shot for game, both locally and for grouse, and even stocked with trout the ponds he had built to provide water in case of fire. This collection consists principally of accounting matter in the late 1980s, providing a vignette of farm and private costs for those years.
