Norton St Philip

Common card · No. 257853

Norton St Philip is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England. The village lies about 5+1⁄2 miles (9 km) south of the city of Bath and 5 miles (8 km) north of the town of Frome on the eastern slopes of the Mendip Hills. It is situated on the A366 between Trowbridge and Radstock, and on the B3110 between Bath and Frome. The village has experienced a significant reduction in local services, with the police station, post office and shops closing throughout the early 2000s. This was partly reversed by the opening of a new supermarket, incorporating a post office, in 2016. The village is built around a village common, known as Churchmead or The Mead, which is held in trust and is home to the village cricket team.
