Stained glass windows in St James the Great church, Norton juxta Kempsey. From those dated, they appear to be of early 20th century (circa 1906).
"St James' Norton was in the care of Kempsey from Norman times; the Vicar from Kempsey received dues from the congregation of Norton in return for providing a priest to officiate services.
The church of St James consists of a chancel, north vestry, nave, south aisle, south porch and western tower and has been repaired a great deal during the past century. The south aisle, porch and vestry were added in 1875.
The oldest portion of the existing church is the 12th century nave, which appears to have been lengthened in the 13th century. The chancel appears to have been rebuilt in the 14th century and the tower may have been added later that century."
