Normanby Hall

Normanby Hall was constructed around 1820 although the listed building register says it wasn’t completed until 1858. The design is by Ignatius Bonomi who became known as the “the first railway architect” for his work on the Skerne Bridge in Darlington. The building is in a poor state having closed down from being a nursing home in recent years. This was the western part of the estate of Sir William Pennyman, 4th Baronet which was split between his daughters and the brothers they married. This half originally belonging to Joanna wife of Captain Matthew Consett at the beginning of the eighteenth century.
