The Old Manor, Norbury
The Old Manor at Norbury is a remarkable medieval house in the quiet Dove valley of south-west Derbyshire, set beside the village church. Its oldest part is a stone-built great hall of the fourteenth century, with later additions reflecting centuries of occupation by the Fitzherbert family. A rare survival of a medieval domestic building, it opens on limited days and rewards visitors with a vivid sense of early manorial life.
