About Us

The Norwood Park Estate has enjoyed a rich and varied history. Today, our Estate is run as a diversified commercial business to support the Estate’s ongoing running costs and preserve its beauty and heritage for future generations to enjoy.

Our History

Norwood Park was first mentioned in the inquisition of Archbishop Neville’s property in 1388 and has seen many owners throughout the years.

Norwood Park has remained privately owned since the 1770’s and has enjoyed the residence of many families, including the Marquis of Carmarthen, Lord Edwin Hill, the Starkey Family, who are the current custodians of the Estate.

Rooted in History

With a history dating back to the 1300’s, Norwood Park has weathered the turns of the centuries. Our aim is to continue to preserve the Estate for future generations.
