The Sheffield family has lived at Normanby for over 400 years.
In the 18th Century John Sheffield became Duke of Buckingham and Normanby and built a fine mansion, Buckingham House, in London. His son sold the house to George III, it is now known as Buckingham Palace.
In the 1820s Sir Robert Sheffield decided to demolish the existing house at Normanby and build the house that welcomes visitors today. The house was designed by Sir Robert Smirke and was built between 1825 and 1830.
The house was extended and altered to designs by Walter Brierley between 1906 and 1908 to complete the grand house which acts as a focus to the whole park.
The first floor also houses the costume galleries where some of the 5,000 pieces in the North Lincolnshire Museums Service Collection are displayed. This year, 'Call of Duty' exhibits uniforms old and new.
