Beverley Norwood House
Heritage Open Day: An exceptional Georgian house that is rarely open to the public. Great architectural features and an unusual history Norwood House is a Grade I listed building, defined by Historic England as of ‘exceptional interest’ – a very rare grade: Lairgate Hall and North Bar House are the only other Grade I Beverley houses. At Norwood House, the gates, gate piers and railings facing Norwood are listed separately as Grade I.
Jonathan Midgley, a rich lawyer, built the house and moved there in 1760, the architect probably being Thomas Atkinson of York. Midgley’s daughter and heiress, Mary, ran off to Gretna Green with an American from Virginia, William Beverley: he extended the house, and was mayor of Beverley town, but died in poverty.
