Norbury Booths (or ‘Bothes’) Hall, Over Knutsford: seat of the Leghs of Booths, built in 1745 to replace an earlier timber framed house. The Legh family have been prominent landowners in Cheshire for generations past: note also their connection to Lyme Park, Addlington Hall, and High Legh. John de Legh of Bothes is known to have purchased the land here, now known as ‘Booths Park’, around 1300, in the reign of Edward I, first son of Henry III. Also possibly associated with this era are the remains of an oval moat, adjacent to Booths Farm, which could have been the site of an early manor house.
