Crewe Hall details

Crewe Hall, a notable Jacobean mansion near Crewe Green in Cheshire, England, was built between 1615 and 1636 for Sir Randolph Crewe. Regarded as one of the finest Jacobean houses in Cheshire, it's listed at grade I. The hall underwent extensions in the 18th century and Victorian alterations by Edward Blore. After a fire in 1866, it was extensively restored by E. M. Barry, featuring works by various artists like J. Birnie Philip and Henry Weekes. The estate's park, landscaped by renowned designers including Capability Brown, is adorned with formal gardens by W. A. Nesfield. Now a hotel, restaurant, and health club, Crewe Hall retains its historic charm.
