Old Manor

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A 13th century hall, remodelled in the 15th century. The most intriguing feature of Old Manor is the roof, built to an unusual king post design. There are also medieval cellars, fireplace, and an undercroft, plus a Tudor door and 17th century Flemish glass. The small gardens include an herbal parterre.

The manor was built for William Fitzherbert in the mid-13th century. It was expanded around 1300 by Sir Henry Fitzherbert, and it retains many of its original medieval features.

Old Manor is located beside the medieval parish church of St Mary and St Barlok, which is well worth a visit for its medieval stained glass and memorials to the Fitzherbert family of Old Manor.

The manor house is owned by the National Trust but leased to a tenant, so openig hours are limited.
Norbury, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, England, DE6 2ED
