Rear view of Norgrove Court Taken from the Monarch's Way this view of the older part of the building shows the 1593 fenestration. The front of the building was extended in 1649. There is a secret priest hole which may suggest the family held Catholic sympathies.

At the time of King Charles II's escape following the Battle of Worcester in September 1651 this would have been a prominent building and it is reputed that he may have stayed overnight on his journey to Bristol. However, this is disputed by the current owners as groundless.
