Norton St Philip history

---

Norton St Philip was recorded in the Domesday book as supporting 20 people, three ploughs, a mill and 20 acres (81,000 m) of meadow. A priory was founded near the village in 1232 and had links with the village until its dissolution under the orders of Henry VIII on 31 March 1540. Norton developed a thriving wool trade and became the site of a regional market, signs of which can be seen in local surnames such as Weaver.
