CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
Nestling in the foothills of Ham Hill Country Park, lies the stunning village of Norton sub Hamdon. Norton is small but nevertheless, there is a huge sense of community and a vigorous wealth of activity. The village supports many clubs, festivals and shows, including the annual flower show, youth clubs, local church, live comedy nights, pantomimes, coffee mornings, annual festival and even duck racing to name but a few! We have an amazing pub, The Lord Nelson, which caters for all, whether it is live music, quiz nights, film nights, skittles teams plus amazing food for all the family. We have an incredible Community Land Trust which due to the commitment of residents, has saved the thriving village shop (which is run by volunteers) and Post Office, and has been responsible for the recent addition of 10 Affordable homes. Amongst the warm glow of the Hamstone houses, sits a greatly valued primary school and a dominant medieval church. Norton has something for everyone. Everyone receives a warm welcome here and people go out of their way to help others, whatever their need may be. If you are looking for a village which oozes charm, quaintness and oodles of spirit…then Norton sub Hamdon is the only place!
