Brief description of site

Crewe Hall has an extensive landscape park of about 200 hectares, dating from the 18th century. The park originally had a lake of 23 hectares. Formal 19th-century gardens surround the house, which is now a hotel.

Brief history of site

The Crewe estate was purchased in the late-16th-century by Sir Randulph Crewe. Crewe Hall was built in the early-17th-century and was greatly enlarged around 1800. The landscape park was created during the 18th century. Formal gardens were added round the house in the 19th century. The house was refurbished in the late-19th-century.
