Historical NoteThe current owners bought Steane Park in 1989 and created the family home that it is today, along with significantly enhancing the gardens and estate. The property is steeped in history and was once the home of Sir Thomas Crewe, speaker of the House of Commons in the 17th century, who rebuilt the charming chapel of St Peter in 1620 in memory of his wife.

The house that stands now is smaller than the original, a 16th century property of magnificent architecture that was originally built and may have been designed by Sir Reginald Bray who was involved in the building of Henry VII’s Chapel at Westminster Abbey. He was the half brother to John Bray, the great grandfather of Temperance Bray who married Sir Thomas Crewe. Through the

lineage Steane was passed to Henry Duke of Kent and thence to the Spencer family who sold it off privately in 1890.

The Norris family of the Hopcraft and Norris Brewery in Brackley owned Steane through the 1900’s and trained race horses on the estate’s private gallops which was then continued by the current owners.
