Norton Disney is a small village and civil parish on the western boundary of the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the border with the adjacent county of Nottinghamshire and shares a boundary with Collingham in that county. This county and parish boundary of Collingham and Norton Disney also splits the Potter Hill area which has important Iron Age and Roman archaeology. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 226.[1] It lies midway between Lincoln and Newark, 2 miles (3.2 km) to the south-east of the A46.
Norton Disney was one of the seats of the Disney family, whose name was an Anglicised version of the original French surname d'Isigny, of Isigny-sur-Mer, Normandy, from whom film producer Walt Disney's family might be descended.[2] The Disney family were also lords of the manor in Swinderby, Carlton-le-Moorland and Kingerby.
The Church of England parish church, St Peter's, is a Grade I listed building.[3] The village has one public house, The Green Man, formerly the St Vincent Arms.
