Overview

History & significance

Norbury Booths Hall moated site, fishponds and connecting channels is a medieval agricultural and domestic complex located in Cheshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure associated with fishponds and water management channels that date from the medieval period, reflecting the economic importance of fish farming to rural medieval estates. The moated platform would have supported a substantial hall or manor house, whilst the fishponds indicate the presence of a organised manorial enterprise. The survival of these earthwork features demonstrates the physical infrastructure typical of a medieval demesne or grange belonging to a lord or monastic establishment.
