CREWE HALL HISTORY & HERITAGE
The site of the mansion dates back as far as 1170 and came into the Crewe Family in 1608; the mansion was in a very bad state of decay that in 1615 Sir Randolph Crewe had it demolished and re-built. It was complete some 21 years later in 1636 and the general character of the mansion owes much to the employment of Flemish, Italian and other foreign craftsmen. It was restored and extended in 1837.
In 1866 the interior of Crewe Hall was very badly damaged by fire and was caused by one of the wooden beams under the fireplace in the long gallery catching alight. The rebuilding within the existing walls which survived the fire, was entrusted by Hungerford.
Third Baron Crewe to Edward Barry; son of the architect to the Houses of Parliament. Edward Barry was architect to many famous buildings such as Covent Garden Theatre, Great Ormond Street Childrens' Hospital, Charing Cross Station and was the architect in charge from 1860 - 1870 for final work on the Houses of Parliament. Hungerford Crewe could not resist temptation to add a wealth of mid-Victorian ornamentation and stone was replaced by alabaster and marble; leaded panes gave way to stain glass windows and elaborate designs were executed in plasterwork.
Prior to 1922 when the Crewe family left, there would have been around 100 servants in the hall - it had 190 rooms. There were 20 gardeners growing all the produce for the house in the 3 walled garden and there was the Home Farm which had approximately 50 farms and 200 cottages in the immediate locality.
