The Reverend William Norris (1727 – 1798) acquired Wood Norton Hall in 1780, and incorporates many neoclassical features, which the salver also exhibits so well. The ‘bluebell pattern’ pattern border of this salver, which Robert Jones specialised in, clearly derives from the designs of the architect William Chambers’ pupil, John Yenn.
