The Early Years of James Norton’s Life

Geoffrey James Ian Norton, known professionally as James Norton, was born on July 18, 1985, in London, England, to a family of educators.

Norton is one-sixteenth Ashkenazi Jewish and has English, Irish, Scottish, Cornish, and English ancestry. He is distantly connected to David Cameron, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, on his maternal side. He is also the great-grandson of Archdeacon of Sudbury Hugh Ross Norton and Vice-Admiral Horace Geoffrey Norman, an Allied Warship Commander.

James was born in London, but his family relocated to North Yorkshire when he was very small, so he grew up there. He went to Bramcote Prep School at first, but then transferred to Ampleforth College, a Roman Catholic (Benedictine) boarding independent school. He went on to Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, to study theology after high school and graduated with First Class Honours in 2007.
