Norbury, Greater Manchester

Norbury was formerly a civil parish in Cheshire, England, covering the southern parts of the village of Hazel Grove.

Norbury was historically a township in the ancient parish of Stockport, which formed part of the Macclesfield Hundred of Cheshire.

[5] In the 1830s, it was decided to build a church, both to serve the growing village and to replace the increasingly ruinous Norbury chapel.

[7] The ecclesiastical parish was enlarged in 1878 to take in Bosden and parts of Bramhall and Torkington townships, such that it then covered the whole of Hazel Grove village.

[15] In the 1960s a large housing estate was built to the south of Hazel Grove called Norbury Moor.
