Tapton House, near Chesterfield, the Residence of the Late Mr. G. Stephenson, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Tapton House, near Chesterfield, the Residence of the Late Mr. G. Stephenson, 1858. Chesterfield has acquired a celebrity by its connection with the memory of the late celebrated George Stephenson...Across the valley to the right, on the summit of a hill, stands Tapton House, where Mr. Stephenson resided during the last ten years of his life, and where many of his most important plans were formed and perfected. Tapton House is a large, commodious mansion, beautifully situated amidst woods, and surrounded by a park...When Mr. Stephenson took possession of Tapton House the gardens and pleasure-grounds adjoining were in a very neglected state, but his genius and love of nature soon caused them to assume a new aspect, and to exhibit more than ordinary attraction. His first improvement was to cut a woodland footpath up the hill, by which he added a beautiful feature to the park, and secured a shorter road to the Chesterfield station...His active mind was continually suggesting new improvements, so that the numerous workmen he had in his employ were never idle; and at the time of his death Tapton House, with its gardens, hothouses, and pleasure-grounds, was justly celebrated as exhibiting the most interesting evidences of his taste and genius'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

Tapton House, near Chesterfield - The Residence of the Late Mr. G. Stephenson, 1858
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back in time to Tapton House, a grand mansion nestled amidst the rolling hills and woods of Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Once the home of the renowned inventor, George Stephenson, during the final decade of his life, this magnificent residence played a significant role in the shaping of his most groundbreaking plans and innovations. Chesterfield's reputation as a place of historical importance was greatly enhanced by its association with the memory of the late Mr. Stephenson. To the right of the image, Tapton House stands proudly atop a hill, its large, commodious structure exuding an air of elegance and refinement. Surrounded by a sprawling park, the house is a testament to the opulence of the Victorian era. When Mr. Stephenson moved into Tapton House, the gardens and pleasure grounds were in a state of neglect. However, his innate love of nature and innovative spirit soon breathed new life into the landscape. He began by creating a woodland footpath up the hill, not only adding a beautiful feature to the park but also providing a shorter route to the Chesterfield station. Mr. Stephenson's active mind was a constant source of inspiration, and his numerous workmen were kept busy implementing his countless improvements. At the time of his death, Tapton House, with its gardens, hothouses, and pleasure grounds, was celebrated as a shining example of his taste and genius. The estate was a testament to his ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations to admire.
