Description:The moated house of Norbury Manor was built by Ralph de Botiller in the early fourteenth century.
In 1521 Norbury Manor was sold to a lawyer, Thomas Skrymsher. By 1775 the estate became the property of George Anson of Shugborough. By the early nineteenth century the building was in a dilapidated state and lived in by farm workers.
In 1838 the building was demolished and a new house was built further to the south (pictured), using stone from the old manor house. The remains of the moat can still be seen approximately half a mile to the east of Norbury village.
