Brief history of site

Tatton Park originated as a deer park in 1290. The park was remodelled by Humphry Repton during the 18th century, after a new house was built in 1716. Formal and informal gardens were added during the 19th and 20th centuries. In 1958 the site was bequeathed to the National Trust.
