Situated near Ashbourne, Tissington Hall is the focal point of the model village bearing the same name, a short distance away from Ashbourne and famous for its annual Well Dressings.

The Hall is the home of the Fitzherberts, a branch of the great Derbyshire family headed by Lord Stafford, whose ancient seats were at Norbury Manor and Somersal Herbert. Norman Fitzherbert, a younger son, acquired Tissington in the 1460’s by marriage and the family have lived there ever since.
