Norton Disney is a small village and civil parish on the western boundary of the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England.
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 Disney family were lords of the manor subsequent to the Norman Conquest in 1066; a charter of 1386 for Ulcelby, near Kingerby named a strip of land as "Disnayland".
[citation needed] The lordship of the manor subsequently passed on in the following two centuries with Lord St Vincent's estate, with the Brown family taking the title.
Nearby Gallows Nooking Common, running alongside the A46 between Folly Lane and Hill Holt Wood, has an Iron Age and Roman British boundary bank and ditch.
Finds have included a Roman dodecahedron, described as "exceptional not just because it's the first to have been found in the Midlands, but also because it's a large, very finely-made example in excellent condition.
"[5] The fields to the east and south of the Roman villa had geophysical surveys carried out by the Norton Disney History and Archaeology Group in 2020.
He described the site as having a Roman pottery and drew a view of the landscape taking in the Fosse Way, Potter Hill, Crococalana and Newark.
[6] Disney had been in the UK from 20 June 1949, arriving at Southampton on RMS Queen Elizabeth; he embarked on a six-day motoring holiday with his two teenage daughters, Diane and Sharon, and his wife, with a convoy of cars.
After seeing the village, he left for a night at Boroughbridge in North Yorkshire, later visiting 8 Howard Place in Edinburgh on 8 July.
