Normanton

About

Normanton ward is located in Rutland, England’s smallest historic county. The area is known for its rural character, with open farmland and scattered settlements. It lies near Rutland Water, a large reservoir that attracts visitors for leisure activities like walking and birdwatching. The ward includes parts of the villages of Edith Weston and Empingham, which have traditional stone buildings and a quiet, countryside atmosphere.

The landscape is dominated by rolling fields and hedgerows, typical of the East Midlands. Normanton itself was largely submerged when Rutland Water was created in the 1970s, though the church of St Matthew remains as a landmark on the reservoir’s shore. The ward has a small population, with most residents living in the surrounding villages. Its proximity to Rutland Water makes it a key area for tourism and outdoor recreation in the county.
