Madeley Manor House

Built in the 1820s by Lord Crewe (John Crewe 1st Baron Crewe, 1742-1829), for his daughter Elizabeth Emma Crewe (1780-1850) and her husband Mr Foster Cunliffe-Offley (1782-1834). The 89 acres of land was purchased for £4,700 from James Cope in 1822. The land was formally known as Okers Hill or Okhull. It was painted by William Callow (1812-1908) in 1843 . In 1921 most of the estate had to be sold off. The manor house failed to attract a buyer and was occupied by Lady Annabel Hungerford Crewe-Milnes, the daughter of Sir Robert Offley Ashburton Crewe-Milnes (first and last Marquess of Crewe) . She was the last member of the family to live in the manor house until her death in 1948. In 1951 the house and grounds were sold and turned into flats. From 1988 until 2015 it was turned into Madeley Manor nursing home. It has since been left empty and has fallen into disrepair. There are current plans to transform the property into 12 apartments and two houses. https://www.staffordshire-live.co.uk/news/local-news/big-plans-crumbling-manor-house-7907269
