Norton is a small, rural parish in the district of Mid Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits among gently rolling arable farmland and hedgerow-lined lanes, a few miles from the market town of Stowmarket and within easy commuting distance of Ipswich, so it combines tranquil countryside character with relatively good access to services.
The village has medieval roots and retains a number of older buildings and a parish church, giving a quietly historic feel; agriculture still shapes the local economy while many households include commuters and small-scale rural enterprises. Social life tends to revolve around the village hall, church and occasional fêtes or clubs, reflecting a close-knit community atmosphere typical of Suffolk parishes.
