Title:Normanby Hall from the South-East looking at the rear of the Hall and the Brierley extension.
Description:Normanby Hall was constructed during the Regency Period between 1825 and 1830 however the first reference of Normanby Hall appeared in the Domesday Book of 1086 and documentary evidence suggests that there were at least two earlier mansions on the site. The estate originally belonged to the Hildyard Family of Winestead before it was sold to William Girlington Esq. in 1510 and then finally to Lord Edmund of Sheffield in 1589. Prior to acquiring the estate, the family had lived for several hundred years at West Butterwick in the Isle of Axholme, where by the 1400s they had become the chief landowners.
