Is Norton near Owlpen and Painswick?
No! ;D
Norton (and Bishop's Norton and Prior's Norton) are a few miles to the north of Gloucester City.
Owlpen is much further south (near Nailsworth & Slimbridge).
Painswick is also south of Gloucester, but about 11 miles from Norton.

The image for the parish register confirms that William Holder and Mary Holder were married on 9 April 1722. Son William is baptised 14 January 1723. Both events said to be at Norton.

A number of HOLDER's listed - from Painswick/Paynswick etc.
