Normanton church sits out on a small peninsular, surrounded on 3 sides by water, makes an incredible subject for photographers 👌🏻
Grade II*listed The church is adjacent to Burley on the Hill House which was built in the 1690s by the 2nd Earl of Nottingham. The church dates from the 12th century onwards consisting of a west tower, nave with aisles, clerestory, and 3 bay aisled chancel. Originally the church consisted of a nave, chancel and north aisle, the south aisle was added later. The tower is from the early 14th century with embattled parapet and gargoyles. The north arcade has three bays and is Norman with round arches, the south arcade is late 13th century with circular piers and pointed arches. There is a late 15th C. mutilated effigy of a Knight and his wife. The font is 15th C. octagonal with eight different tracery designs. The church was restored in the late 18th-century when box pews were added. The church was rebuilt in 1869/70 by Pearson, who rebuilt the aisles, clerestory windows and chancel. The church was declared redundant in May 1984 and is now managed by the Churches Conservation Trust.
The core of the church, nave and aisles, dates from the Norman period, around 1100. The tower and porch were added in the early 13th century, in Early English style. In the first half of the 15th century the clerestory was added and new windows inserted in the aisles and the east end of the chancel. The final major construction period was the rebuilding of the chancel in 1892.
