Before visiting the sights of Moreton, we did justice to a cream tea in the excellent village tearooms.
The grave of T.E. Lawrence is to be found nearby.
My husband was fascinated to discover that Framptons have been Lords of the Manor in Moreton since the 14th century. James Frampton was responsible for the prosecution of the Tolpuddle Martyrs who were subsequently transported to Australia in 1843.
The village is also known for the stunning windows of its church which were designed and engraved by Sir Laurence Whistler over a period of about 30 years. These replaced the apparently dull panels of coloured glass that had been installed after the original windows were blown out by a bomb in World War II.
