Abbots Morton
Abbots Morton is a village and civil parish in the Wychavon district, in the county of Worcestershire, England. It consists of approximately 70 dwellings and 250 people. It retains 4 mixed working farms within the village boundaries. The parish includes the hamlet of Goom's Hill. The village was the country retreat for the Abbots of Evesham Abbey and the moat that surrounded their house is still visible. The village church is dedicated to St Peter and is over 1,000 years old.
The hamlet of Morton Spirt lies east of the village.
The name Morton derives from the Old English mōrtūn meaning 'settlement on a moor'.
Abbots Morton was listed as Mortune in the Domesday Book of 1086.
The most northerly of the four parishes in the benefice, the parish of Abbots Morton incorporates the hamlets of Morton Spirt, The Low and Gooms Hill as well as the village of Abbots Morton itself.
The parish contains approximately 70 homes. Many of the houses in the village are half-timbered black and white buildings dating from the 17th and 18th centuries; three have 15th century origins.
The Domesday Book of 1086 lists Abbots Morton as "Mortune", assessed at 5 hides and belonging to Evesham Abbey, but the settlement is believed to have been established several hundred years earlier.
Before the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, Abbots Morton used to be a country retreat for the abbots of Evesham; the remains of their moated manor house can still be seen near the church. The site of the manor house was acquired by Evesham Abbey in the 8th century, and a building existed on the site before the Norman conquest.
