Normanby Hall is a classical British mansion, located 5 miles (8 km) north of Scunthorpe in Lincolnshire.
The external link below gives details of the Hall; in essence they are:
- the present Hall was built in 1825-30 for Sir Robert Sheffield (1786-1862), whose family had lived on the site since 1539
- it replaced a previous 17th century building
- the family moved out of Normanby Hall in 1963
The Hall is now in the care of the North Lincolnshire unitary authority.
The former 350 acre (1.4 km²) estate around the Hall is now a Country Park. Within it are a restored working Victorian Walled Kitchen Garden and a Farming Museum.
