Major-General Norcliffe Norcliffe KH (24 September 1791–8 February 1862) was a British Army officer and landowner. Having joined the 4th Dragoons in 1807 he fought with them in the Peninsular War. He was severely wounded in the head during the Battle of Salamanca but survived. After the war he continued in the army, transferring to the 17th Lancers and then the 18th Hussars before going on half pay as a major. Norcliffe continued to purchase promotions and became a major-general in 1855. He inherited the Langton Hall estate from his mother in 1835 but chose to live more in London. He died there at the age of 70 in 1862.
