Norley history

---

In the Domesday Book, Norley was included under the manor of Kingsley. Later the area was dominated by Norley Hall and Norley Bank.

Norley Hall

The first Norley Hall was built at the beginning of the 15th century. The present hall dates from 1782 when it was built by William Hall. In the 19th century the hall was bought by the Woodhouse family of Liverpool.

Norley Bank

Norley Bank was built by James Croxton in the 18th century and later acquired by Rev. Rowland Egerton. It remained in private ownership until in the Second World War when it was used as a British Red Cross hospital. In 1953 it was bought by Liverpool Corporation with the intention of converting it into an approved school, but this did not materialise.

Norley landmarks

The Church of St John the Evangelist stands to the northwest of the village. It is a Grade II* listed building dating from 1879 which was designed by J. Loughborough Pearson. The other Grade-II-listed building in the village is Norley Hall and its adjoining farm.
