Hi just wondering if anyone knows or lived in the flats at Norton, they were called Ragworth flats, 3 storeys, it will of been late 1950s to early 1960s. My dad lived there before moving to Roseworth.
Hi I’m looking for any information on a small holding/ market garden on South Road, Norton, ran from land around detached bungalow. The bungalow is still there an is opposite a road called Cherry Tree Gardens. The property belonged to my grandparents, any information would be welcome.
Hi does anyone remember the Charlton’s who lived in 16 The Green that is my husbands great grandparents his gran was Gertrude and she had a sister Lily they are buried in St Marys church. Gertrude married William Kelsey and they lived at Southfield Crescent
Hi, my grandfather and his parents were Charltons and they lived in 25 The Green in 1911 census. My great grandfather was George Arthur Charlton. Charlton is a common name, so I don’t know if they are related the no. 16 Charltons but would be interested to know more, if they were.
Also, a friend of mine had Charlton relatives who lived on the Green – George William Charlton born 1911 was one of his relatives. Again, not sure if this is relevant to your family. Please let me know.
Love any photos of Norton and especially the fox and hounds , which was owned by my great grandparents , and my granny was born there
I was born and bred in Norton, now live in Manchester and about to move to Boston MA. I have been doing my family tree recently, my maiden name was Alborn. Does anyone know anything about Jabez Alborn who lived at 10 Ragworth place?
My grandfather Jackson Walker had this house from around 1910 buying it from his brother who lived there previously so I imagine this Jabez Alborn lived there in the 18th century. There were Alborns that were retailers in the ‘fruit and veg’ trade.
Does anyone remember Carrolls antiques in Norton?
Yes in Harland Place. Wreford lived in Junction Road. He had his son in the business as well.
When I was a boy the shop on the opposite side of the alley was known as Reeds. It was a grocery shop. The man who owned it Mr Reed also owned number 2. At closing time when the shop was locked up he would leave it through the side door, cross the back alley into the side door of number 2.14/03/2012 11:35:31
I am currently living in the Fox and Hounds as shown in the picture, now known as 2 The Green – has anyone got any history whatsoever about this house?14/03/2012 00:56:35
No. 2 could have been Nelson square as one of his employers also lived in the square.
Does anyone have any history on Chesterfield House, Mill Lane TS20 1LG? I think it’s the old Rex house school but I’m just really curious it looks such an amazing building.04/03/2012 10:46:00
Lynn, the Miss Page I knew (although I never heard a Christian name, it was always Miss Page) was still there when I started work in December 1944 just before I was 16. I was still delivering her basket of washing up to then. As part of the working week was Saturday I had to stop those deliveries and often wondered if that put the washerwoman out of work. Miss page looked quite old to me although two years older than me was deemed old. I am sorry I cannot help more but will go through my Mothers diary to see if Miss Page is mentioned, she did note quite a few names in it.17/02/2012 10:19:44
Thanks for your reply; Robert Page Seymour was given permission by an act from Queen Victoria to change his surname to Page – the maiden name of his mother – I think to inherit something, thats why their surnames appear as Page Page. When he died he left in todays money £3.5 million. His son John William Page Page did not marry and died 1916 – at The Green, Norton. Margaret Elizabeth Page married Thomas Hollingsworth Hitch and lived in Newcastle. Ellinor Jane Seymour Page married Arthur Burgess Crosby and lived in Norton, think she was still in Norton when her husband died in 1932, he was a solicitor and town clerk. Mary Seymour page married Henry Edgar Hoffmeister, a surgeon, and I have found them on the census in the Isle of Wight. Alice Ovington Page did not marry and remained in Norton and died 1941 at 38 – The Green, Norton – was that the Miss Page!! any more info much appreciated16/02/2012 20:34:06
Lynn, There was a Miss Page living on Norton Green all through my years living in Mill Lane and some time after. Miss Page lived in the first house from Mill Lane towards the Church with the Bow windows, that was passing two cottages from the corner of Mill Lane. The house is still there and from what I have seen on my weekly visits still in private hands, Red House School own most of that side of the Green. Walfords lived in the next house to Miss Page and it appeared they were related although that is only going on hear say from many years ago. Miss Page’s garden wall was a connecting wall to our walled garden at 5 Mill Lane and there was a door in it back then, I believe my Father did some jobs for Miss Page who I think had one servant living in at that time. My memory was of a tall Lady, quite regal to me a young sprog plus getting a belt round the ear when I ran up to mother who was talking to Miss Page and did not take my cap off, lack of respect back then. That is all I can tell you as that side of the green were the posh lot. I did see Miss Page most Saturdays when I called at her back door in the yard Mill Lane and picked up her basket of washing for the washer woman in Crook Terrace and brought back the clean basket when she would give me one shilling for my efforts, big money at the time.16/02/2012 11:21:49
I am tracing my family tree; have been in Norton today looking around. I’m tracing Robert Page Seymour who in 1861 changed his name to Robert Page, he was a tanner in Norton and lived on The Green in the village. I can see a few comments on the page but any information of whereabouts of photos would be much appreciated.15/02/2012 17:54:17

My g/father lived exactly opposite the Hall at 10 Ragworth Place. He died in 1964 and at that time the Hall was still an item. I know this as Ronnie Lee Joiner and undertaker worked from the back of this building and he conducted the funeral of my g/father. So I would say that it would be demolished after this date and before 1970.25/01/2012 10:52:53
