Norton Bavant is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of Warminster.

The Wessex Main Line railway between Warminster and Salisbury, opened 1856, follows the river valley and crosses the parish to the north and east of the village.

[2] John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870–1872) described Norton Bavant as follows: NORTON-BAVANT, a village and a parish in Warminster district, Wilts.

The village stands on the river Wiley, adjacent to the Salisbury and Westbury railway, 1¼ mile N W of Heytesbury r. station, and 2¾ S E by E of Warminster.

[3]Norton Bavant Manor was built in the late 17th century and is Grade II* listed.

[5] The present parish church of All Saints, which now stands in the grounds of Norton Bavant House, has a tower from the 14th and 15th centuries; the Benett chapel is also from the 14th.

Local government services are provided by Wiltshire Council, which has its offices in Trowbridge.
