The Parish Church of Saint Peter
The village of Norton Disney sits close to the River Witham just off the Fosse Way (Roman road) between Lincoln and Newark on Trent, a 1st century roman villa was discovered by a farmer close to the village.
The village church is dedicated to St Peter and has an unbuttressed Early English west tower, the church also contains a brass commemorating three generations of the d’Isigny family dating from about 1580.
The d'Isigny (Disney) family owned the manor here and had a castle and a 17th century manor house built from the castle ruins, however nothing of these now remain. It is believed that the American film producer Walt Disney is a decedent of the Disney family from here, Walt Disney himself along with his family visited the village in 1949.
