Tabley House, the finest Palladian house in the North West of England, contains the Leicester family collection of paintings, furniture and memorabilia from the 17th to the 20th Century. Today, important works by JMW Turner, Henry Thompson and James Ward can be seen in the rooms for which they were created, together with fine paintings by Dobson, Lely, Reynolds, Cotes, Northcote, Callcott, Fuseli, Lawrence and Martin. The furniture includes items by Chippendale and Gillow displayed within some of the best Georgian interiors.

The Leicesters lived at Tabley from the 14th Century, first in the Old Hall on a moated island, and latterly in the fine house that still stands today. St Peter's Chapel, originally built on the island in 1678, was moved in 1927 and re-erected on its present site adjacent to the house. The ante-chapel now operates as a Tea Room during the open season.

The Collection is open to the general public from 2nd April 2nd to 31st October 2015, Thursday through to Sunday and Bank Holidays from 1.00pm to 5.00pm.
