Local Visitor Attractions

Offa's Dyke:  Just ½ mile away from Norton Manor Hotel, Offa's Dyke passes Norton.  This
was constructed in the 8^th Century, at the order of the Saxon King Offa of Mercia, in order
to keep the Welsh from marauding in neighbouring Mercia.  On the trail there is a monument inscribed in honour of the achievements of Sir Richard Green-Price of Norton Manor.

Norton Church of St. Andrew:  Norton's church dates from mediaeval times, although only
the nave still contains any mediaeval masonry.  The church was restored in 1868 by Sir George Gilbert Scott in Victorian Gothic style.  Many stained glass windows are attributed to the memory of Sir Richard Green-Price, who is laid to rest here alongside some of his family.
