Normanhurst Court

Normanhurst Court was a large manor house in the village of Catsfield in East Sussex.

The building of the house was initiated by Thomas Brassey, one of the leading railway builders of the nineteenth century.

[1] The works, which were carried out by Lucas Brothers,[2] were completed shortly after he died in 1870[3] and the house was occupied by Lord Brassey, his son.

[1] The house was designed to resemble a French Chateau, and was home of the Brassey family for many years.

[5] The water tower, a museum and the bachelor's quarters were all situated away from the main building.
