Abbots Morton history

---

Abbots Morton was listed as Mortune in the Domesday Book of 1086. The parish contains approximately 70 homes. Many of the houses are half-timbered black and white buildings dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.

8th – 16th century: Evesham Abbey and Morton Abbatis

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, the site of the manor house can still be seen near the church.

16th-17th century: the Hoby and Kighley families

Abbots Morton passed into the hands of the Hoby [Hobby] family, who acquired many of the properties originally belonging to Evesham Abbey. In 1600 ownership of the manor appears to have been disputed.

18th century: the Throckmorton family of Coughton Court

By the beginning of the 18th century, much of the land around Abbots Morton appears to have been acquired by the Throckmorton family of Coughton Court. Papers deposited in the Shakespeare Centre Library and Archive record 500-year leases of “rights of common” granted on lands.

19th century

In 1870–72, John Marius Wilson’s Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Abbots Morton as a parish in the district of Alcester and county of Worcester. It has a post office under Bromsgrove.

20th Century

The church houses the WW1 war memorial to the village’s only casualty of the conflict. Private Philip Collins served with the local Worcestershire Regiment in Mesopotamia. There were no local losses during the second world war. The village hall was rebuilt in 1998.
