Tattenhall is located eight miles south - east of Chester and is set in the heart of the Cheshire countryside. The name Tattenhall is believed to have been taken from the words 'Tata' and 'halh' meaning the meadow. One of the oldest buildings in the village is the church of St Albans, which dates back to the sixteenth century and is said to have been built on the site of an old Roman villa, history suggests that the village could of been a Roman settlement with a Roman coin found in prestine condition whilst the foundations were being dug out for the Park school in 1970. There are Three castles visible from the village, Beeston, Bolesworth and Peckferton, and on a clear day you can also see the Welsh hills. Tattenhall used to have two railway stations but these are now closed, but there is still the Shropshire Union Canal, built in 1770 and still in service and there has recently been the development of the Tattenhall Marina alongside the canal.

The Barbour Institute built in 1897 and situated in the centre of the village is home to a host of local events and societies and served as a hopital during the First World War for injured soldiers and was used to stage shows and dances during the Second World War to entertain American soldiers based in the village and surrounding areas. Present day Tattenhall is a mixture of old and new houses, restaurants, three public houses and a mixture of small businesses, and is home to one of the most scenic cricket grounds in the area. Other local attractions include the Ice Cream Farm and the Candle Factory located in Burwadsley. There is even a Grand National winning horse by the name of Grakle from 1931 buried in the grounds of a house in the village, the winning owner Mr. C. R. Taylor gave every child in the village a half crown piece to celebrate winning the National.
