Find out more
Dunham Massey is a National Trust property near Manchester with a Grade I listed Georgian mansion, gardens, and a 300-acre deer park.
This is a treasure-packed and gossip-filled house which invites visitors to discover the salacious scandals embedded in the hall's history. Our favourite is the story of the 7th Earl of Stamford, who married Catharine Cox, a former bare-back circus rider. They were made to feel so unwelcome at Dunham Massey that they left the house and never returned.
During 2014-15, the clock was turned back to allow visitors to experience what life was like when it was used as a military hospital during the First World War.
Dunham Massey was one of the finalists for Art Fund Museum of the Year 2015.
