From the GRO, it looks like the marriage was childless using Wrighton & Knighton

According to the website http://www.mattishall-village.co.uk/Norman_Wrighton-1.htmNorman and Winifred did not have children. Winifred never remarried. Her death recorded at Norwich. Following her death 8 December 1969 her body was removed from Tavisham and taken to the Chapel of Rest of Arthur Horne & Son Norfolk House, Dereham Road, Mattishall. Then laid to rest St Peters Churchyard
Mattishall burgh, her ancestral home.
