Sir John Norreys or Norris (c. 1481 – 21 October 1564) was a gentleman usher daily waiter at the English court during the reign of the House of Tudor.
John's father Edward, the eldest son and heir of Sir William Norreys, had taken part in the Battle of Stoke Field in 1487, dying shortly afterwards.
The estates included major residences such as Yattendon Castle and Ockwells and minor lands like Norreys Manor in Wokingham.
On 17 August 1520, John entertained King Henry VIII and his Queen Catherine of Aragon at Yattendon Castle.
[4] At the coronation of Edward VI, Norreys and another usher, William Ransford, wore robes in the procession to represent the Duchy of Gascony and Guyenne.
[6] Described as "a rank papist" by Edward Underhill,[7] he was promoted to be chief usher of the privy chamber to Queen Mary Tudor.
