Norton (first name and dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played in major matches during the 1740s. He is recorded playing for Richard Newland's XI against Long Robin's XI at the Artillery Ground on Wednesday, 26 June 1745. Long Robin's XI won by "over 70 runs".[1]
As Norton had established his reputation by 1745, he must have been active for some years previously and his career probably began in the 1730s. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports and there are no other references to Norton.
