Mansion

Set amidst more than 50 acres of gardens, at the heart of a thousand acres of landscaped parkland, the elegant Mansion house at Tatton Park sits in an elevated position. The impressive portico of the South Front dominates the view of the house from the parkland.

From the turn of the 18th century the Egerton family made a home on this site. An earlier house was extensively re-modelled in the Neo-Classical style, between 1780 and 1813 by the architects Samuel (1737-1807) and Lewis William Wyatt (1777–1853). The rich furnishings of the house and its important collection of paintings and books reflect the growing wealth and status of the Egerton family at the end of the 18th and during the 19th centuries. Add to this the extensive array of domestic offices and servants quarters and the Mansion offers a complete view of life in days gone by.

During low season (Oct 6th 2009 to March 26th 2010) the Mansion opens during October half term (October 27th to Nov 1st) 1pm to 4pm, last entry 3pm and for Christmas events.

We have recently embarked on a project with the Family History Society of Cheshire to document historical information about the hundreds of people who worked and lived at Tatton Park throughout the Egerton family's ownership.  You can learn more about this project here.

Tatton Living History Society
The Tatton Park Living History Society are a friendly group of volunteers who create a Victorian atmosphere within the Mansion at Tatton Park.  Meeting on two Sundays a month, the group create their own costumes, portraying both servants and gentry, to bring the mid 1890s to life.  If you are interested in joining, or would like to find out more, please contact Karan Knowles on 01625 374446 / karan.knowles@cheshireeast.gov.uk
