The Norton parish lies a few miles south of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire, England. Nestled on the edge of the Severn Vale and close to the River Severn, it is a small, mainly agricultural community of rolling arable fields, hedgerows and occasional pasture; its low-lying position means flood risk has influenced local land use and planning.
With medieval roots and a handful of listed buildings, Norton retains a quiet village character and a close-knit social life centred on local events and a village hall, while many residents commute to nearby towns or work in farming and rural businesses. Good road links via the M5 and proximity to the historic Tewkesbury Abbey and regional centres make it easy to reach larger markets and cultural attractions.
