All Saints Norton

Norton parish church is a beautiful and peaceful place, surrounded by farmland. 

It is a humble church with a presumptuous bell-turret dated 1858.  It was apparently made for Grittleton House, not the church, and placed there when the west wall of the church was rebuilt.  A chapel existed at Norton before 1151 but nothing but the plan survives.  Most of the present building includes elements from the 13th to the 16thcenturies.  The chancel arch was inserted in 1866, and the chancel and sanctuary raised in 1902.

The font is Norman, the pulpit is Jacobean, and there are some other Jacobean panels.
