Norton is a village and suburb in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. Once a small rural settlement with medieval roots, it has largely become a residential area while still retaining pockets of older buildings, open green spaces and a sense of its agricultural past.
Locally it has the amenities of a suburban community - shops, schools and pubs - and many residents commute into Doncaster or nearby towns for work. Norton's feel reflects the wider Doncaster area: a blend of commuter suburbia and local industry with historical links to the region’s transport and mining heritage, while remaining within easy reach of surrounding countryside.
