the parishioners of Norton. In 1631 the Trust was noted to
supply coals to the poor and in 1810 it was responsible for

The White Horse pub first started serving beer in 1766. The
terms of the licence in 1829 included the clause that the
Landlady should not " Knowingly introduce, permit or suffer
any bull, bear or badger baiting, cock-fighting or other
such amusements, nor permit or suffer men or women of
notoriously bad fame or dissolute boys or girls to assemble
and meet together in her premises". It is now owned by
Charles Wells Brewery and is a popular village pub serving
good food and real ale.
