Tapton House, Grade II* listed English country house in Chesterfield, England
The Georgian mansion stands within 80 hectares of parkland in the civil parish of Brimington, featuring domestic residential architecture from the 18th century.
The property, constructed by the Wilkinson banking family, became the residence of railway pioneer George Stephenson from 1832 until his death in 1848.
The building transformed from a private residence into an educational institution in 1931, serving as a grammar school for generations of local students.
Located near Chesterfield railway station and M1 motorway junctions 29 and 30, the house now functions as part of Chesterfield College's higher education campus.
The grounds contain Castle Hill, an earth mound that indicates the previous existence of a medieval motte-and-bailey fortification on the site.
