I have come across an old Norris plane. The metal body is quite badly
rusted. What is the best method of cleaning it up? Any help and advice
would
be appreciated.

If the sole is badly rusted, it is very likely that the shaving aperture
will be irregular. If you file it straight, it will become too wide for the
work for which Norrises are intended.

Unless it is for display, why bother?
