Norton Conyers House and Gardens

Norton Conyers House and Gardens Norton Conyers, house and garden, have belonged to the Graham family since 1624. It was the Winner of the 2014 HHA & Sothebys Restoration Award.

The Graham family had important connections with the Stuart family; both Charles I and James II stayed here. Many visitors have remarked upon its notably friendly atmosphere which we believe, results from so many years of occupation by the same family. Another famous visitor was Charlotte Bronte who stayed at Norton Conyers in 1839. The discovery in 2004 of a blocked staircase connecting the first

floor to the attics and clearly mentioned in the novel, aroused world-wide interest in Norton Conyers and confirmed it as a principal inspiration for 'Thornfield Hall'. It was the Winner of the 2014 Historic Houses Association(HHA) & Sothebys Restoration Award.
