MORTON, a parish in that part of the liberty of
SOUTHWELL-and-SCROOBY which separates the northern
and southern divisions of the wapentake of THURGARTON,
county of NOTTINGHAM, 2 miles (S. E.) from Southwell,
containing 150 inhabitants. The living is a perpetual
curacy, in the peculiar jurisdiction of the Chapter
of the Collegiate Church of Southwell, endowed with
£400 royal bounty, and in the patronage of the Prebendary
of Dunham in the Collegiate Church of Southwell.
The church, dedicated to St. Denis, is a small
brick edifice. Here is a trifling endowment in land,
bequeathed by John Dabile, for teaching four poor
children of Morton, and four of Fisherton.
