About this audio guide
This guide to Wythenshawe Hall in Manchester sets a Tudor house built for the Tatton family against two very different attacks, centuries apart. It starts with the winter siege of sixteen forty-three, when Parliamentarian soldiers surrounded the house and Robert Tatton held it for the King. Then it moves to the early hours of a March night in twenty sixteen. Stand on the lawn facing the front, where you can see the roofline and its small bell tower.
