We also have unspoilt archaeology spanning 5000 years. The Norton Community Archaeology Group (NCAG) was set up 3 years ago to further our knowledge of the village and surrounding area through practical “hands-on" historical research and archaeological excavations. Our projects will illuminate hitherto unknown aspects of the village's past and bring it to life for the inhabitants of the area.
