Tattenhall Hall

Tattenhall Hall is a country house standing to the south of the village of Tattenhall, Cheshire, England. It was built in the early part of the 17th century, before 1622, for Richard Bostock.[1][2] The house was bought in 1856 by Robert Barbour who restored the house and commissioned Thomas Harrison to design gate piers and farm buildings.[2] It is constructed in brick with sandstone dressings and a Welsh slate roof,[1] and is an early example of a brick building in Cheshire.[1][2] The architectural style is Jacobean.[2][3] It has an irregular H-shaped plan,[1][2] in two and three storeys, with an entrance front of five bays.[1] It contains two gables that are similar in style, but have difference in heights, suggesting that they were designed separately.[2] The house is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.[1] Associated with the hall are two structures listed at Grade II. The sandstone gate piers and wing walls were built probably in 1858 and designed by Thomas Harrison.[4] The haybarn to the southeast of the hall was built in 1858 and was also designed by Harrison.[5]
