Thank you for your comments below in answer to my previous observations and questions.

Your answer below, on Dec. 29, 2023, that "growing up is an essential part of classic fairy tales" intrigues me.

It's something that I mulled even as I must ask a related question.

Would fairy tales also work a way for someone grown-up to wend if life wronged them and they were unhappy and unlucky?

ENGLISH SURNAMES come into only a few categories, :- place names, father's first names, occupations ...etc

Norton is a place name reflecting position ..... North of a settlement in a clearing

That leftover food composts in the British Isles impresses me even as it is not at all surprising.

Is the waste-food processing by government employees or by a private company?

The computer crashed before I commenced other history-concerned components to my comment below.

Names, more of families and places than of things intrigue me. But in this case Norton Priory intrigues me.

Is it known why Norton is in the name?

Native British fruits, apples, pears and plums.

I eat already fruited cheeses

Thank you for your comment below, on Aug. 4, 2017, in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

Your answer advises us that "I have eaten Wenselydale with apricot and cranberry, and I found that they go beautifully together."

The cheese section of the grocery store where I do Friday shopping carries Wensleydale with apricot and Wensleydale with cranberry as colorful chunks already in them.

Do you eat already apricoted Wensleydale or do you eat Wensleydale cheese with a side order of apricots?

Your answer alerts us that "My son worked as a tree nurseryman and he supplied a local monastery. He noted that they were very keen on fruit trees and vegetables, but medicinal herbs were not their interest."

What fruit trees appealed to that local monastery?

Might you have those artistic attributions readily accessible through Mozilla Firefox?

The gardens are more established now and very beautiful

Thank you for your comment below, on Apr 20, 2017, in answer to my previous observation and statement.

The third paragraph to the first subheading, Norton history in a nutshell, alerts us that "The Priory was constantly being added to over the centuries and developed, becoming a private house during Tudor times, 16thC. The family sided with Parliament against King Charles 1 during the 17thC English Civil War. A Georgian house was built on the site during the 18th C. The house was sold in 1921 and mainly demolished in 1928."

Does history keep for us the names of those two families even as people did not keep the houses that they built?

Thank you to Frank and Veronica for comments below, on Jun 20, 2017, in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

It's nice to know that leftover food is not just thrown away. Is the waste-food pick-up by government employees or by a private company?

Thank you for the link to Greg House.

The image conveys architectural beauty and grounds both landscaped in the lawn and some trees and natural in the furthest-back trees.

The afore-mentioned image is above the message "User submitted image Uploaded by David Lovell This photo may not represent the current condition of the site" alongside some information dated Mar 6, 1975.

Is the image the way Greg garden and house look nowadays?

Is the Greg house restoration complete? Might that restoration be as impressive and Victorian tradition-consistent as the garden restoration?
