The hall was inherited by Ralph Sneyd in 1829, following the death of his father. By the mid-19th century the hall was in a derelict state. In 1851 the old house was demolished and replaced with the current Jacobethan design by architect Anthony Salvin, possibly to emulate the neighbouring estate at Crewe Hall.
The Hall was rented by Grand Duke Michael Mikhailovich of Russia from 1901 to 1910.
