Norton is a small village and civil parish in the Mid Suffolk district of Suffolk, England. Set in the gently rolling arable landscape of East Anglia, it is characterised by hedged lanes, farmed fields and country footpaths that make it popular with walkers and cyclists and give it a distinctly rural feel despite being within reasonable reach of larger market towns.
The village retains a historic core with period cottages and a traditional parish church that reflect its long-standing local roots; economically it remains anchored in agriculture while many residents commute to nearby towns for work. Social life tends to be quiet and community-focused, centred around the village hall, parish events and occasional fêtes, and there is an ongoing interest in conserving the vernacular architecture and rural character that define the place.
