Please could you clarify where Norton, Norton Bavant, Norton Coleparle are? Are they all part of the same area?

Answer

Two of them are in the same area, but one is much further south.

Norton Bavant is a small village and parish to the south east of Warminster at the upper end of the Wylye valley.

Norton is a very small village and medium sized parish to the south west of Malmesbury. I am making a guess, but I think that Coleparle is Cole Park (originally called Cowfield) to the south of Malmesbury. It is not in Norton parish but is in the modern civil parish of St. Paul Malmesbury Without.
