In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Calveley like this:
CALVELEY, a township in Bunbury parish, Cheshire; on the Chester canal, adjacent to the Chester and Crewe railway, 8 miles W by N of Crewe. It has a station on the railway; and it forms a curacy with Bunbury. Acres, 1,517. Real property, £2,502. Pop., 285. Houses, 48. The manor belonged to Sir Hugh Calveley, the "glory of Cheshire;" and belongs now to the Davenports.
