Orton Liberal Club
The datestone over the door is 1888, surmounted by a figure that I presume is Gladstone, liberal prime minister intermittently from 1880-1894 although not at this particular time.

The Old School House, Orton
I quote the current name of the building, although on OS maps of 1957 and earlier it is shown as a police station. Maybe the two halves of the building had different uses.

Petty Hall, Orton
Despite the smallness implied by the name, this is in fact the grandest building in the village centre - the comparison is with Orton Hall further to the south. The house (left) dating from 1604 is grade II* listed (list entry 1326736) and the attached barn to the right grade II (1311584). It is also known as Orton Old Hall, as the larger house was built a couple of generations later in 1662.
