Wiverton Hall is an English country house near Tithby, Nottinghamshire. By 1510 the former village of Wyverton had become impoverished and reduced to just four houses and a cottage. It was in that year completely depopulated by "emparkment", when George Chaworth enlarged his park by 254 acres (103 ha). All but the Grade II* listed gatehouse of the mansion was destroyed in the English Civil War.
Wiverton Hall is considered to have been established by Sir Thomas Chaworth (d. 1458/9) in 1450. In 1627 his descendant, Sir George Chaworth (d. 1639) was created Viscount Chaworth of Armagh, and his son John Chaworth (d. 1644) the second Viscount, was living at Wiverton.
