History
Norton House was built around 1840, a honey-sandstone Victorian mansion in the Tudor-Jacobean manner attributed to the style of the noted Scottish architect David Bryce. In 1883 it was bought by John Usher of the Edinburgh brewing dynasty — benefactors of the Usher Hall — who was created 1st Baronet of Norton in 1899.
Following the death of the eccentric 3rd Baronet, Sir John Usher, the house was sold and became a hotel in 1951. Now part of Hand Picked Hotels, it offers 83 rooms across 55 acres, a spa with a Rasul mud chamber, and Usher's Restaurant.
