Norton Post Office

Norton Post Office is a simple two-storey building featuring rendered walls with whitewashed rubble at the rear. The wallheads are raised, and it has timber wallplates and a slate roof that slopes lower at the back, complete with bargeboards. There are two rubble stacks, one with a weathercourse extended to the right and the other originally located in the middle of the roof. The front has two windows offset to the right with modern frames, two doors under cambered heads, and various openings at the rear. A later one-storey extension is attached to the right.

Inside, the building retains half of a late medieval open hall, with one cruck-truss still standing against a later chimney. This open-cruck features cusped queen-struts at the apex, although the top of the collar is plain. Below the collar, the plain chamfer from the arch brace extends onto the cruck blade.

A second truss, known as a partition-cruck, is square-framed and originally had a single doorway on the east side, although the east stud has been moved away from the blade. Each cruck supports two purlins on either side, with original lengths showing lap-joints on the back for wind braces. A large single nook has recently been uncovered downstairs to the left, featuring a massive timber lintel.
