Norton Conyers is a very small, predominantly rural civil parish in North Yorkshire, a few miles north‑east of Ripon. The landscape is estate‑dominated, with farmland, woodland and lanes radiating from the grounds of the historic country house and its walled gardens rather than a nucleated village, so the feel is of a quiet, privately owned countryside holding.
The manor has medieval origins and the present house includes later 17th–18th century rebuilding and is locally important as a listed historic building; it has longstanding local lore - most famously the tale of the "Brown Lady" - and the house and estate are sometimes said to have helped inspire elements of Charlotte Brontë’s writing. Economically and socially the area remains closely tied to agricultural activity and the estate, with occasional garden openings and heritage interest drawing visitors from nearby market towns.
