Douglas Norman

Douglas Norman was a quarryman who worked his own quarry and may also have worked part of the time at the nearby Holton Heath munitions factory. His twin brother Ernie, unusually was not involved in the unit, but instead served as a fireman in London during the Blitz. It is thought that Nelson Burt may have been a relation, since the Norman’s mother’s maiden name was Burt.

After the war he worked on reconstruction work in London, including at the Houses of Parliament. He quarried in Langton Matravers until the mid-sixties.
