Landing and Staircase, Tatton Hall
The cantilevered staircase with wide low stairs allowed for the graceful steps of ladies in full skirts.
Around the walls of the gallery, are full-length portraits of the "Ten Cheshire Gentlemen" who were the leading local gentry at the time of the first Jacobite rebellion in 1715. They met together at Ashley Hall to decide whether to support King George I or James Stuart. They decided to support the king, which probably saved their lives and their estates. They commissioned the portraits to commemorate the meeting.
Unusually for rooms at Tatton Hall none of the paintings are of Egertons, the family did not achieve such importance until the nineteenth century. The paintings originally hung at Ashley hall; they were brought to Tatton when William Tatton Egerton bought the Ashley estate in 1860 .

The Yellow Drawing Room at Tatton Hall
Part of the "family wing", this bright room has a much more intimate and informal feel to it than Image it was used as a family sitting room by the Egerton family as part of their everyday living accommodation when they were not entertaining guests in the much grander state rooms. The prominent feature of this room is its collection of satinwood furniture made by Gillows. This includes the bookcase dated 1795 and a pair of cabinets on each side of the fireplace. The paintings are family portraits.
