Phil and Karen
1. Tatton Park Mansion is set amidst 50-acres of Gardens within 1,000 acres of landscaped parkland and deer park of 2,000 acres. In 1795 the estate covered 251,000 acres (392 sq. miles).
2. The estate was the property of the Egerton family for nearly 400 years. The current house, built in the late 17th century, was extensively re-modelled between 1780 and 1813 by architects Samuel Wyatt and Lewis William Wyatt.
3. The Mansion houses one of the National Trust's finest libraries and an outstanding collection of Gillow's of Lancaster furniture.
4. The Mansion also has a large collection of paintings, many of them portraits of the Egerton family - in addition to work by artists such as Canaletto, Poussin, Chardin, Van Dyck, and Vasari.
5. During World War II the parkland played a major role in training all allied paratroops by No.1 Parachute Training School RAF based at nearby RAF Ringway, with some 60,000 trainees making their first drop from cages suspended below barrage balloons over an open area to the northwest of the hall.
6. Tatton Park was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1958 and is financed and maintained under lease by Cheshire East Council.
