This resource pack has been researched and developed by the Education Team at Tatton Park. The purpose of the resource is to demonstrate the ways in which mathematics can be practically applied, to help children understand the importance of the subject beyond the classroom. In this instance, we have created a historical based pack, which highlights the ways in which the Victorian Housekeeping Team who served Tatton Park’s Mansion would have used maths in their daily life and work. The activities are therefore cross curricular and can be used to support the study of either Maths or History, or the two subjects together. The content is developed with Key Stage 2 in mind, but teachers are welcome to adapt the activities to suit the skill set of their own students, at higher or lower key stages. This document is intended as a teacher’s guide to the subject, and we hope that it will provide inspiration for your classroom studies.

‘Tatton to the Trenches’ is a comprehensive resource pack for teachers, which supports learning about World War One and the local area. Many Tatton employees, from footmen to foresters, volunteered to fight in the trenches. Explore the experience of Tatton soldiers during the Great War. Why did they join up to fight? Where did they serve? Learn about the life of a British soldier in the trenches. What sort of jobs did they have? What did they wear and what did they eat? Find out about the medals they were given and why. Learn more about women’s contribution to the war effort and about the forgotten wartime refugees in Cheshire. This resource was made possible with kind support from the National Heritage Lottery Fund.

The Tatton Park Memorial Book contains listings for over 100 soldiers, who had links to the Tatton Estate and served during World War One. As part of this project, we have summarised some of the key stories and published them in a pamphlet volume. We hope that the stories of some of our local soldiers can support your classroom studies on the subject.
