Dunham Massey Hall was home to the Booths and the Greys, Earls of Warrington and Stamford. Visit to discover tales of romance and scandal, and to see the elegant Edwardian interiors, silver collection, paintings and furniture 'upstairs', contrasting with the servants' wing. At weekends meet the servants and have a go at some of their tasks.
The garden
