Norton Conyers House, English country house in Norton Conyers, England.
Norton Conyers House is a two-story country residence with a four-bay brick frontage and a slate roof in North Yorkshire. The building combines traditional English construction with decorative elements that are particularly visible throughout its main rooms.
The Graham family has owned the property since 1624, with a brief period out of their hands from 1862 to 1882. This long family connection makes it an important private estate in the English countryside.
The house displays 18th-century craftsmanship through its ornate plaster ceilings and Dutch-influenced gables visible from outside. These architectural details reflect the tastes and connections of the families who lived here.
The house is currently undergoing renovations and remains closed to visitors until May 2025. Check the official website for information about when visits will resume.
Archaeological digs have uncovered the remains of an Anglo-Saxon settlement beneath the current building. This reveals that the site has been occupied for far longer than the house itself.
