Gazetteer/Directory entries
NORTON (KINGS), a parish (formerly a market town) in the upper division of the hundred of HALFSHIRE county of WORCESTER, 6 miles (S.S.W.) from Birmingham, containing, with Headley, Moseley, Moundsley, and Rednal, 3651 inhabitants. The living is a perpetual curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Bromsgrove, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Worcester. The church, which is dedicated to St. Nicholas, is spacious, and principally in the decorated style of English architecture, with later insertions; the tower and spire are very fine. A free grammar school was endowed by Edward VI. This town received the grant of a market from James I; and during the succeeding reign, in the year 1645, Hawkesley house, then belonging to the Middlemores was burnt down by the royalists. The market is disused; but fairs are held April 25th and September 5th. The Birmingham and Worcester canal, in passing through this parish, forms a junction with that of Stratford on Avon, and is conveyed through a tunnel into the Parish of Alvechurch. [Lewis 1831]
