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. [38] The Keele Hall library was put up for auction in 1903, as Walter Sneyd's collection of illuminated manuscripts and early printed books. Many of the manuscripts passed to Charles Fairfax Murray. [39] [40] The Johnson's Dictionary came up for sale in 1927. [41]
