Norton is a small rural civil parish in Wiltshire, England, set in rolling farmland and crossed by hedged lanes that reflect a long agricultural past. The village core has a handful of stone cottages and a parish church, and the surrounding fields and occasional earthworks hint at medieval origins rather than modern sprawl.
Economically the area remains largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby market towns; socially it tends to be close‑knit, centred on the church, village hall and occasional local events. Its appeal is quiet countryside, traditional buildings and good walking country rather than tourist attractions or heavy industry.
