The Story Behind ‘The Crimble’

Crimble Hall isn’t just any building. It’s a place filled with deep personal significance for me and my family. This double Rosette-recognized venue was where my wife and I celebrated our wedding 30 years ago. Now, after over two centuries of history dating back to 1810, we’re bringing this iconic hall back to life—transforming it from a beloved restaurant venue into a private residence.

But this restoration is about more than just bricks and mortar. It’s a homecoming for me—Crimble Hall sits just half a mile from my childhood home, and it’s a cornerstone of the Rochdale community. With each episode, you’ll get an inside look at how we’re blending heritage with personal history, community ties, and, of course, some serious renovation magic!

What’s Coming Up?

In this new season, we’re taking you through every step of this ambitious restoration—from navigating the architectural challenges of an 1810 estate to uncovering hidden stories that have shaped this iconic venue. You’ll see the highs and lows, the surprises, the tough decisions, and the incredible transformation that happens when history meets modern-day vision.

With each episode, our goal is to inspire you to be bold, take risks, and preserve the things that matter most. Whether you're passionate about history, home renovations, or the journey of bringing new life to old spaces, this series is for you!

But that’s not all, because we don’t live in the UK. We live in the US! Which means I’ll be traveling back and forth as we build.

But Wait! We Want to Build a Museum in the New Home. Can You Help?

Given this home has a history dating back 500 years, we think some of you out there might have some pieces of history we could use to create a mini-museum room in the home, to showcase it’s story and legacy when people come to stay.

If you have something, or could connect us to someone that might be able to help, please use this form to get in touch.

Please note - No payments will be made for any historical items. This is purely sentimental.
