Norramby (alternatively Normanby) is a beautiful seaside town on the south-eastern coast of Sodor. The name originates from the only Norman invasion in the history of Sodor, which landed here. It was routed by Godred Crovan into a pass leading to Sodor's interior (that pass is now called Crovan's Gate), and the Normans retreated to the bay where they had landed to discover that their ships had been set alight by another party of Sudrians. The Dukes of Sodor are all from the Norramby family, which was named after the town.
