Norwell, Nottinghamshire history
Early History
“Nortwelle” is mentioned in Domesday Book (1086); it had a church, a priest and a watermill. For nearly a thousand years the parish of Norwell was owned by the church. The canons were the principal landlords and lived in moated manor houses.
Farming
Major changes followed parliamentary enclosure (1832) when the land was divided into small fields. Many small farms, possibly 28, were established, some in the village centre and others in outlying fields. Today there are a few large farms and no working farms in village centre.
Self-sufficiency
Blacksmiths, wheelwrights, stonemasons, and builders were often grouped together in yards leading off the main street. There were two windmills, two steam mills and a watermill. Personal needs were met by General stores, bakers and butchers, shoemakers and a tailor.
Buildings
The medieval church of St Laurence is Grade 1 listed and has features from the 12th to the 20th century. Almost all of the buildings are of red brick with pantiles. There are many timber framed buildings originally with mud and stud between the timbers.
Norwell now
The population of the parish is about 450, much as it was around 1250 and 1700. It reached its peak in the 1860s when it was nearly 800.
