Normanton is a small rural village in the Borough of Melton, Leicestershire, in England, set in the rolling farmland of the East Midlands a few miles from Melton Mowbray. The settlement has the quiet character of many Leicestershire villages, with traditional stone and brick cottages, a parish church and a landscape of hedgerows, arable fields and public footpaths.
Locally the community is shaped by agriculture and by cultural ties to the food and equestrian traditions of the area - think Melton Mowbray pork pies and hunting country - while many residents also commute to larger towns for work. Its history is essentially rural and long-established, giving it a close-knit social feel and an understated heritage typical of small villages in the county.
