The Library

The Library is perfectly symmetrical, in keeping with the formality of the Neo-classical style. It houses one of the largest and most important library collections owned by the National Trust. There are over 7,000 books in the collection with the majority housed in the Library, many still in their original covers and in mint condition. 

The Music and Drawing Room

This the most ostentatious room in the house with cherry coloured silk damask on the walls and some fine examples of furniture; part of a collection of Gillows at Tatton which is unrivalled. Wilbraham Egerton’s ownership (1777–1853) saw the commission of many pieces especially for the house.

The Dining Room

The oldest room in the house decorated with stunning rococo plasterwork, this room has hosted many illustrious guests including the Prince and Princess of Wales in 1887.
