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.
