Capesthorne Hall has been the seat of the Bromley-Davenport family since it was built in the first half of the 18th century for the Capesthorne heiress Penelope Ward and her groom Davies Davenport. Their great grandsons Edward (Ned) Davies Davenport (1778-1847) and Reverend Walter Davenport Bromley (1787-1862) filled Capesthorne with art and treasures purchased on their Grand Tour of Italy in the early 19th century. When Edward inherited Capesthorne in 1837, he commissioned Edward Blore, the royal architect, to remodel and enlarge the house, opening up spacious interiors, including a neo-classical library in which he housed his books and antiquities. Walter's son William later inherited Capesthorne and brought to the home the art that his father had been housing at his own estate, Wootton Hall, thereby merging the two collections.
