Norbury Manor
Norbury Manor close by the church comprises the Old Manor built c. 1250 and enlarged c. 1305 by Sir Henry Fitzherbert and the adjoining 15th century hall house which was substantially rebuilt in about 1680 and which contains panelling and stained glass from the Tudor house. The glass depicts the Labours of the Months.
A notable member of the FitzHerbert family was the judge Sir Anthony Fitzherbert. The manor fell into disuse in the 16th century when Sir John FitzHerbert married Ann Eyre and moved to Padley Hall.
Norbury Manor is now owned by the National Trust, and occupied by tenants who maintain the Hall and Gardens. Visitors are welcome to tour the old Hall and gardens on two specific days each week from April to October. (Fri 11:00 to 13:00, Sat 14:00 to 16:00).
