Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Wythenshawe Hall Wythenshawe Hall is set within 275 acres of scenic parkland and gardens. The original house was built by Robert Tatton in around 1540 on the site of a medieval building. During the English Civil War, Robert Tatton defended Wythenshawe Hall against a siege by Parliamentarian troops. When the house fell it was confiscated by the Parliamentarians but a few years later was returned to the Robert Tatton on the payment of a substantial fine.
In 1926 the hall and estate of 2,500 acres of farmland were sold to Lord Ernest Simon of Wythenshawe, who donated them to the City of Manchester. |
