Welcome to our site, This site is all about the paranormal activity in and around the village of NORTON ST PHILIP. Norton St Philip is a small village located about 6 miles from Bath and is set amongst rolling countryside. The village itself is racked in history. The village itself has even got a mention in the doomsday book. The GEORGE INN, one of the oldest pubs in England use to be courtrooms and ran under Judge Jefferies who use to give the sentences to the prisoners and lock them up in the dungeons or to be hanged in the what is now known as the Fleur de lys pub.

Hinton Priory... Hinton Priory began in 1232, when the Priory was founded. It ended on March 31st 1540 when Prior Hood and his 23 monks were evicted by the Commissioners of Henry VIII, at the time of the Dissolution of the Monastries. During the life of the Priory, our village was in the keeping of the Prior, as Lord of the Manor of Norton. The rule of the Priory coloured the life of the village, and left marks on it that you can still see today. The chief mark, perhaps, is the George Inn.

The monks of the Priory were Carthusians, an order of silent comtemplatives, each living in his little house, with a small garden. Once a week they had to take a long walk. Along the lane from Norton to Wellow there is a stone bridge over the stream, by legend called Touchstone Bridge which the monks would touch and then turn back, as the limit of their walk.
