Background
History
The manor of Keele was purchased by the Sneyd family in 1544, a Staffordshire gentry family who held the mayoralty of the borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme several times as well as lands in nearby Audley and Bradwell. The family prospered as coal (in nearby Silverdale, Staffordshire) and iron owners and also brick and tile manufacturers. During the English Civil War, Keele Hall was, allegedly, briefly instrumental is providing an asylum for King Charles II after the Battle of Worcester in 1651. As royalist supporters, following the final Parliamentarian victory, the Sneyd family were heavily fined.
Architecture
The interiors of the state rooms are decorated in a mixture of styles, including Louis XVI style and Renaissance Revival. Some rooms are influenced by the works of English architect William Kent. The Tudor Revival dining room features tapestries from the Aubusson Manufactory and carvings in the style of Grinling Gibbons.
