Description
NRHE data transfer:
Little Nortons [NAT]. (1)
Little Nortons, house, is of two storeys with attics. It was built in the 16th century on an L-shaped plan with the wings extending towards the north and west. The extension at the end of the north wing is modern. At the south end of the east front the upper storey projects and is gabled. On the south elevation is an original window with a moulded mullion, now blocked. Inside the building, in the attics, is a window with old fastenings and diamond-shaped glazing. Condition - Poor. <2>
Note: The NRHE record does not note the buildings destruction. The location and shape of the house called Little Nortons does not align when comparing modern parts with historic. Therefore, it seems likely the old house was demolished in the mid 20th to early 21st century, and a new house was built nearby with the same name.
