Tattenhall is a village and civil parish, 8 miles south-east of Chester, in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. At the 2001 Census, the population was recorded as 1,986, increasing to 2,079 at the 2011 Census.
The settlement of Tatenale was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The name is believed to be derived from the Old English personal name Tata and halh, meaning "a meadow". The spelling of the village has altered over the centuries: Tatenhala (1280), Tattenhall (1289), Tatnall (1473), Tottenhall (1553) and Tettenhall (1649).
The village was once served by two railway stations. Tattenhall, which closed in 1957, was a stop on the disused Chester to Whitchurch railway.Tattenhall Road was situated a mile to the north of the village on the Chester and Crewe Railway. The station closed in 1966 although the remains of the two side platforms remain visible. The line is now part of the North Wales Coast Line.
An electoral ward of the same name exists. This ward stretches east to Tilstone Fearnall with a total population taken at the 2011 census of 4,374.
There are three pubs in Tattenhall, The Sportmans a real ale and dining pub, The Letters Inn and The Bear & Ragged Staff, which was part converted into a Thai restaurant in 2005.
Tattenhall is home to a group of houses designed in 1927 by architect Clough Williams-Ellis, famous for creating the Italianate village of Portmeirion in north west Wales.
