Norton, Gloucestershire is a parish comprising three distinct areas: Elm Norton, Bishop's Norton and Prior's Norton. The parish is bisected by the main A38 road, which provides a direct route between the city of Gloucester and the town of Tewkesbury. The name of the locality appears in local references as “Norton, Gloucester” and is associated with the GL 2 postal district. The area is noted for its connection to the traditional British breed of cattle known as the Old Gloucester or Gloucester. This breed, originating in Gloucestershire and surrounding West Country areas, was historically triple‑purpose—raised for milk, beef and draught use—but is now primarily a dual‑purpose animal. It is considered endangered and is listed as a priority by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. The presence of this breed highlights the rural character of the parish and its agricultural heritage.
