Hungerford Crewe, 3rd Baron Crewe, owned the Jacobean house Crewe Hall, in 1850 and had previously commissioned extensive alterations from Edward Blore (1837-1842).
A fire in 1866 caused substantial damage to the main hall. Upon Crewe's death in 1894, the house passed to his nephew and it is now a hotel.
