Norland is a dispersed village south of Sowerby Bridge, in the metropolitan borough of Calderdale in West Yorkshire, England.

Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the settlement dates back to the 13th century when it consisted of timber-framed farmhouses on the hillsides above the valleys of the Calder and Ryburn rivers.

Norland Hall, lower down on the hillside near Milner Royd, was typical of an older timber-framed building encased in stone in the late 17th century.

The American newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst bought the stones in 1922 with the intention of re-building the hall in the USA.

The Ladstone, a large outcrop near the trig point, has been linked with Druids as a possible place of ritual sacrifice (Celtic llad = kill or cut).

Previously owned by Lord Savile, a large section of the moor was auctioned in 1932 to pay death duties.

Subsequently, the Parish Council launched an appeal (which raised £373 in eleven days) and Norland Moor passed into its care for the benefit of the local population.
