Background
History
Located on Watling Street, in medieval times the village was known as simply 'Norton' and was a royal domain of Edward the Confessor and later William the Conqueror. In the 14th century the whole village was sold to Sir Henry de Grene for a total of 20 shillings, hence the name Grene's Norton, which today was modernized to just Greens Norton.
Architecture
The Grade I listed parish church is dedicated to St Bartholomew and is Saxon in origin. Its tall spire, last rebuilt in 1957, is a landmark for miles around. The architect H. R. Gough rebuilt the chancel arch in 1882. There are 27 listed buildings in the parish, all but the church at Grade II. Other notable buildings include Bengal Manor and nearby farms built about 1840 by the Grafton Estate at nearby Caswell and Field Burcote.
