About Norton Tower
Where to stay in Norton Tower
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
The beds are down in the town. Norton Tower is a residential edge of Halifax rather than a lodging quarter, so a visit fits into a day out from the centre, with Warley Museum the obvious first call and the houses filling the rest. Water Hill Lane is worth the detour.
Anyone booking in Halifax can take in The Old Congregational Church, Willow Hall and Beech House on the same outing.
About Norton Tower
What are the main landmarks in Norton Tower?
A museum leads the list. Warley Museum keeps the local collection, The Old Congregational Church and Church of St John the Evangelist carry the two strands of worship, and the rest of the register is domestic: Willow Hall, Beech House, Haigh House and The Hollins. Stone names do the rest.
Stock Lane House and Newlands House add to the count, and Hoyle House stands on Water Hill Lane at the numbered end of the record.
What is the history of Norton Tower?
The record is domestic. No founding year attaches to Norton Tower, and its earlier life reads through building names rather than dates: The Hollins, Haigh House, Willow Hall, Beech House and Stock Lane House, with Newlands House among them. Two churches carry the parish side, The Old Congregational Church and Church of St John the Evangelist, each marking a different tradition on the same few streets of Halifax.
Warley Museum gathers what is left.
Where is Norton Tower?
