About Norton
Where to stay in Norton
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Norton keeps its old houses. Beds are few in the district itself, so most visitors book in central Sheffield and come out for Norton Hall, St James, Norton, and the run of listed cottages that fills the streets between them. Jordanthorpe House sits nearby.
The reward for staying out this far is a quieter suburban setting and a short walk to Chantrey House, Chantry Cottage, and School House.
About Norton
What are the main landmarks in Norton?
The list here runs long. Norton Hall and St James, Norton head it, followed by Jordanthorpe House, Chantrey House, Chantry Cottage, Chantrey Cottage, School House, and The Post Office House, a set of protected buildings recorded across the district. School House is among them.
Nothing here matches the scale of central Sheffield, and the interest lies in how many small protected buildings sit inside one set of suburban streets.
What is the history of Norton?
The buildings carry the history. No narrative record comes with Norton, but the protected fabric tells its own story: a hall, a church, a school house, a post office house, and a run of cottages, all of them surviving inside the City of Sheffield. Norton Hall heads that list.
The county around it is South Yorkshire, and what Norton offers a visitor is the accumulation rather than any single dated event.
Where is Norton?
