Green's Norton and Norton Davy

Will asked, "Could Green's Norton and Norton Davy be the same place?" If you
look on the online site of the village in Northamptonshire you will find a
summary of its history there. I cannot be certain of its accuracy but I simply
convey its message. They are the same place. It was simply called Norton
when held by Edward the Confessor. In the reign of Edward 1 the manor was held
under John le Mareschal by David, son of Griffin, from whom it received the
appellation of Norton David.
In 1355 Sir Henry Green and Thomas his son bought the licence to acquire the
manor of Norton David, and thereby its name changed to Green's Norton.
I stopped in the village the other day on my way home from a visit to
Canon's Ashby, the Dryden house, as I live in the county.
