Hungerford Crewe, 3rd Baron Crewe

[3] He appears to have been a relatively benevolent landlord, rebuilding farms, providing cottages and endowing schools.

[3] In 1866, he paid more compensation to tenant farmers whose herds were affected by the cattle plague outbreak than was required by law.

[6] He also made many charitable gifts, for example in Sandbach where he donated his income as lord of the manor to the local board, gave land for a town and market hall, and erected a drinking fountain.

He unsuccessfully opposed the construction of a Silverdale and Madeley Railway Company line from Newcastle-under-Lyme to Wrexham, which passed through the Crewe estate.

Blore also added a centrepiece and clock-tower to the stables quadrangle and built a gate lodge.
