We have been working hard on creating portraits of local people who endured the Second World War. Here is a catalogue of our work that includes children who attended Norton School in the late 1930s and two local soldiers, both born in Norton, who sadly died in service. We aim to honour the memories of those affected and in particular the local service men and women that were lost due to this conflict. Norton Remembers.
