專家說明
The present house of Haigh Hall, Lancashire was built between 1827-1840 replacing an earlier house at a cost of around £100,000. The 24th Earl of Crawford and Balcarres was 'the classic representative' of eighteenth-century englightenment' (see John Martin Robinson, A Guide to the Country Houses of the North-West, London, 1991, pp. 190-191). His son the 25th Earl was also responsible for the creation of one of the finest libraries at Haigh, which now forms part of the Rylands Library in Manchester.
