Norton is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, about southwest of Malmesbury. The parish includes the hamlets of Foxley and Bremilham (also known as Cowage). The Sherston branch of the Bristol Avon forms the north boundary of the parish. ==History== Bronze age ring ditches and signs of early medieval or Saxon settlement are in the east of the parish, near Cowage Farm. The Fosse Way Roman road forms the west boundary of the parish, where it is a bridleway. The east-west road between Malmesbury and Sherston passes through Foxley and Bremilham. From the late 17th century until 1756 this was the main route between Oxford and Bristol. Foxley and Bremilham were separate ecclesiastical parishes〔 until 1893 when Bremilham was united with Foxley. In 1934 Foxley (with Bremilham) was transferred to the civil parish of Norton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Norton, Wiltshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
