There has been a church in Morton (mentioned in the Domesday book) since mediaeval times, but this church was built in 1756, and is constructed of red brick with a slate roof. There is a western tower and nave with chancel in one, a small apse and north vestry. The embattled brick tower is of four stages. There are two bells. The west porch, in the base of the tower leads into the nave. The inside is plain. There is a small semicircular window in the east wall of the apse with glass by Heaton Butler and Bayne. There is a small pipe organ by Hadfield, which was installed in 1967 and replaced a larger organ. Pevsner describes the interior as "devoid of appeal".

Hotel was lovely and the beds were comfortable. Really pleasant staff and would recommend the hotel. However wasn’t a fan of 5 WhatsApp messages plus Expedia messages from them think it was a bit too much. Apart from that everything else was great

10/10 Exceptional! (10 reviews)
It was lovely. It was quiet and away from people, v close to local amenities and sites. The WiFi is spotty but that is no criticism, it was great to know i could just read a book without constantly checking my screen. Will definitely come again.
