Norris had three brothers, John, Henry and Francis, and a sister, Isabel, who married Sir Richard Wenman.

Rycote played host to Elizabeth as her father was one of her guardians and she became close to Norris and her husband.

She sent him home as all of his brothers had died as soldiers and Elizabeth wanted her friend Margery to have one of her sons by her.

[2] She and her husband are commemorated by a huge eight metre high monument to them and their six sons in St. Andrew's Chapel in Westminster Abbey.

[2] Life-size effigies of Lord and Lady Norreys lie beneath an elaborate canopy supported by marble pillars and they are surrounded by large kneeling figures of their sons.
