Early evening sunshine bathes the ruins of Burnham Norton Friary in Norfolk. The friary was the fourth Carmelite house of friars to be established in England and the first to be founded after the order was expelled from Mount Carmel in 1238 by the Saracens. The friary, near Burnham Market, was founded by Sir William Calthorp and Sir Ralph Hemenhale in 1241.

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 was built in the 13th century, with significant additions in the 14th and 15th centuries. The Disney Chantry (North Chapel) contains five significant effigy tombs and a palimpsest brass commemorating various generations of the Disney family.
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, Walt Disney himself along with his family visited the village in 1949.

The foliage was beautiful along the upper reservoir in Norton, Virginia Saturday but a stiff wind and slow rain was pretty frustrating.
Norton Junction is a key point on the Grand Union Canal, located near the village of Norton in Northamptonshire, England. It is where the Leicester Section (also known as the Leicester Line) branches off from the main line of the Grand Union Canal. The junction lies close to the famous Watford Locks, a flight of staircase locks that help boats navigate the elevation change. Norton Junction is historically significant for canal transport, serving as a crossroads for boaters traveling between London, Birmingham, and Leicester. The surrounding area is scenic, offering picturesque views of the English countryside.

Another shot I found on flickr and absolutely loved. I didn't really want to copy someone elses shot but I couldn't resist this spot so I tried my best to make it alittle different. With all the moss, the road curving into the distance and the tracks taking the upper edge, I really wanted to see it for myself and get a train in it. Although I knew that the straight on shots would make for fairly bright headlights, I still wanted to go for this one and it definitely turned out better than the previous straight on shots because of less fog.

A Norton prototype, the P800 of 1965 was an 800cc double overhead camshaft unit twin with a five-speed gearbox intended to replace the Atlas. Money being the usual problem, it never saw production. Who knows, it may even have been oil-tight.

Norton Priory is a historic site in Norton, Runcorn, Cheshire, England, comprising the remains of an abbey complex dating from the 12th to 16th centuries, and an 18th-century country house; it is now a museum. The remains are a scheduled ancient monument and are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. They are considered to be the most important monastic remains in Cheshire.
The priory was established as an Augustinian foundation in the 12th century, and was raised to the status of an abbey in 1391. The abbey was closed in 1536, as part of the dissolution of the monasteries. Nine years later the surviving structures, together with the manor of Norton, were purchased by Sir Richard Brooke, who built a Tudor house on the site, incorporating part of the abbey. This was replaced in the 18th century by a Georgian house. The Brooke family left the house in 1921, and it was partially demolished in 1928. In 1966 the site was given in trust for the use of the general public.
Excavation of the site began in 1971, and became the largest to be carried out by modern methods on any European monastic site. It revealed the foundations and lower parts of the walls of the monastery buildings and the abbey church. Important finds included: a Norman doorway; a finely carved arcade; a floor of mosaic tiles, the largest floor area of this type to be found in any modern excavation; the remains of the kiln where the tiles were fired; a bell casting pit used for casting the bell; and a large medieval statue of Saint Christopher.

A thing of real beauty.
Quite a challenge to try and get this right with all those "highlights" in the chrome against a relatively dark backdrop. Also trying not to appear in the reflection. Hopefully it works.

Hook Norton Brewery is a regional brewery in Hook Norton, Oxfordshire, England, several miles outside of the Cotswold Hills. Founded in 1849, the brewing plant is a traditional Victorian 'tower' brewery in which all the stages of the brewing process flow logically from floor to floor; mashing at the top, boiling in the middle, fermentation and racking at the bottom. Until 2006, the brewing process was powered by steam. Beer is still delivered in the village by horse-drawn dray
