LOCATION
The historic villages of North and South Moreton are situated within half a mile of each other both lying in the plain just below the Berkshire Downlands and Blewburton Hill to the South, with Wittenham Clumps and the River Thames to the North, with the surrounding countryside designated an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Reputed to be on the route of a Roman road, the village was first documented as a settlement in the Domesday Book of 1086 when Ralf was Lord of the Manor. The church of All Saints mainly dates from 1270 with a 15th century tower, a late Norman Font and an interesting Chantry with an especially fine East window added by Miles de Stapleton commemorating his family who held the Manor in the 13th to 15th Centuries. Miles de Stapleton became Lord of the Manor in 1290 and was an important figure in the royal household and parliament ultimately killed at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. The Manor passed to the Dunch Clan in the 16th to 18th Centuries which family was related to Oliver Cromwell.
North Moreton has a winding main street scattered all along with beautiful old cottages and some fine brick houses of great antiquity with little infilling in recent years, thus its unspoilt olde worlde charm and quiet way of life based on farming and the land has been successfully retained.
Today the village continues to enjoy a peaceful and calm existence benefiting from its excellent road communications for the surrounding towns, especially Didcot which boasts a shopping centre as well as having an important mainline station providing fast commuter services up to London (Paddington). The M4 and M40 motorways are easily accessible and the fast A34 dual carriageway linking Southampton and the South coast with the Midlands is only a short drive.
Adjoining the village Cricket Green, where incidentally the Cricket Club was founded in 1858 and still thriving complete with new pavilion, is The Bear inn an excellent local hostelry.

Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer).

This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
