History

The hall stands on a site near to the disappeared village of Tatton. It was built as a manor house around the start of the 15th century by either the Stanley family or Sir Richard Brereton. By 1585 a two-storey wing had been added at a right angle to the original house by Sir Thomas Egerton, Lord Chancellor of England. In the 1770s a new hall was built on the site of the present Tatton Hall and the old hall was used as a farmhouse and then a century later converted into three estate cottages. [cite web |url= http://www.tattonpark.org.uk/Attractions/Old+Hall/tudoroldhall.htm |title= Tudor Old Hall |accessdate=2008-08-28 |publisher= Tatton Park ] It remained in the possession of the Egerton family until 1958 when it was given to the National Trust.

Architecture

The hall is built in red brick with a stone slate roof. It was originally timber- framed, but this was replaced by brick in the late 17th or early 18th century. The hall is L-shaped and externally appears to have two storeys. Internally the floors which were added to the older hall have been removed, exposing the complex wooden roof. This has a carved wall plate, carved beams and three tiers of quatrefoil wind braces.

The newer wing retains its two floors and is divided into separate rooms.

Cruck barn

In the grounds of the hall is a cruck barn dating from the beginning of the 17th century which was originally in a farm at Frodsham, Cheshire. In a dilapidated state, it was removed from its original site in 1976 and rebuilt and restored at Tatton.

It is listed Grade II.

Present use

The hall and barn are open on advertised days for escorted tours, and group or educational visits can be arranged. Historical re-enactments are organised on the site, which may have a medieval or a 1940s theme.
