Norton Conyers has an interesting history particularly with one of the 19th Century Baronets having to sell it with his illegitimate offspring buying back the house and estate 20 years later. It still remains in the family. The house is not open that often but has been restored (winning a HHA award) and there is a presentation of the house and its history from the current owners and descendants of the Grahams. The house is believed to have inspired Jane Eye and has had royalty stay there. There is quite an extensive walled garden which is enjoyable to walk around.
Tucked away close to Ripon this really feels like a proper old family home. Very charming with lovely producing gardens, especially apples, beans, fruit, courgettes all available to purchase (and pick l think) Dates back to anglo saxon times, visited by Charles l and James ll and even Charlotte Bronte
Privately owned garden. Beautiful very well kept. Extremely friendly staff.
Fantastic gardens so worth a visit can't wait for hall to open next year
Highly recommend the guided tour of the house. Fascinating history of the house itself, the family and others who have stayed over the centuries and beautiful gardens.
