Listed buildings in Norbury, Cheshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Norbury is a former civil parish in Cheshire East, England. It contained five buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as designated listed buildings, all of which are at Grade II. This grade is the lowest of the three gradings given to listed buildings and is applied to "buildings of national importance and special interest".[1] Other than small settlements, the parish was rural, and most of the listed buildings were houses. The Llangollen Canal ran through the parish, and one of its bridges is listed.
