Norton Lindsey

Norton Lindsey is a village and civil parish in Warwickshire, UK. It is located 3.5 miles south-west of the tourist and county town of Warwick and a mile west of the M40 motorway. According to the 2001 UK Census the village had between 300 and 350 people living in it. At the time of the 2011 census the population was measured as 326.[1] The uncertainty arose because part of the village is in a separate parish. Indeed, whilst most of the village is in the Warwick District, some of it is in the Stratford District.

The village takes its name from the Lindsey family who were lords of the manor in the 12th century. The parish church of the Holy Trinity dates from the following century. The village has a windmill. Two of the village's other prominent features are the Village Hall and the cricket club, which is shared with nearby Wolverton. The village also has its own Brownie pack.
