Crewe Hall - Cheshire East (UA)

Degraded mid-C19 formal gardens by WA Nesfield associated with a country house, with remains of a landscaped park on which William Eames and Humphry Repton are said to have worked. The Hall is now a hotel with adjoining conference centre and spa, with associated car parking dominating the former pleasure grounds. A large poplar plantation currently occupies the site of a former substantial lake, once the centrepiece of the parkland landscape, although some felling of trees has taken place in the proximity of the boathouse.
