Distinctly classical in design, inspired by the ancient buildings of Greece and Rome, Samuel and Lewis William Wyatt created a formal entrance to the mansion designed to impress visitors on arrival.
Tatton Hall

Tatton Hall is a country house in Tatton Park near Knutsford

A new house was built at Tatton for the Egerton family in 1716. Between the 1770s and 1816 most of it was replaced by the present neoclassical mansion, designed by Samuel Wyatt and his nephew Lewis William Wyatt. Further additions to the house were made in 1861–62 and in 1884.

The last member of the Egerton family to live in the hall was Maurice Egerton. On his death in 1958 , he bequeathed the mansion and gardens to the National Trust and it is open for visiting by the general public at advertised times (LinkExternal link National Trust Visitor Information).

Tatton Hall is designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 58467 LinkExternal link British Listed Buildings).
