The Gardens at Tatton Park

Tatton Park Garden's history

The 50 acres of gardens at Tatton have been developing for over 200 years with each successive owner of the Tatton Park estate playing their part in its evolution. Lewis William Wyatt and Joseph Paxton, architect of Crystal Palace, designed various elements including the Conservatory which is now open to following a comprehensive restoration programme and will be `stocked' over the coming months. Up until the death of Maurice, the Last Lord Egerton of Tatton, in 1958 the gardens continued to be enhanced and enjoyed by each owner of Tatton Park
