Normanton Hall

Normanton was the possession of the De Normanvilles for fourteen generations following the Norman Conquest.

Sir Thomas Mackworth, 4th Baronet was ruined by electioneering costs in the early 1720s and was forced to sell.

[2] The estate was bought by Sir Gilbert Heathcote, 1st Baronet, Lord Mayor of London, in 1729.

[3] His son, Sir John Heathcote, 2nd Baronet, rebuilt the hall between 1735 and 1740 to the design of Henry Joynes[3] and Sir Gilbert Heathcote, 3rd Baronet enlarged the hall to the design of Kenton Couse between 1763 and 1766.

St Matthew's Church, Normanton, due to be demolished with the construction of Rutland Water, has been rescued and is reachable by a causeway.
