HISTORY ON THE SITE
In 1825 the Sheffield family called in architect Robert Smirke to design a mansion house in their country estate just north of Scunthorpe. Normanby was never the family's main residence; they lived here only five months each year, inviting guests to enjoy winter entertainment such as pheasant shooting, and offering hospitality over the Christmas season. They would move to London for the 'Season' in spring, then spend another week at Normanby on their way to spend the summer at a shooting lodge in Scotland.
