Tatton Park

With forty indoor servants to spit and polish, cook and clean, wash and iron, this elegant Regency mansion was a constant bustle of activity in the days of the Egerton family which owned the house from the turn of the 18th century. With its impressive south-facing portico dominating the view of the parkland, the richness and grandeur of the state apartments, intimate family rooms, domestic offices, kitchens, laundries, dairy and servants quarters seen together side-by-side give a fascinating portrait of life as it was lived both upstairs and downstairs in days gone by.
