"MORVILL, a parish in the Chelmarsh division of Stottesdon hundred, county Salop, 3 miles N. W. of Bridgnorth, its post town. The village, which is of small extent, is situated on the turnpike road from Bridgnorth to Much-Wenlock. The parish is intersected by the Marl Brook, and contains the chapelry of Aston-Eyre. It formerly had a cell to Shrewsbury Abbey. The inhabitants are chiefly engaged in agriculture. The soil consists of loam and clay, with a clayey subsoil. The tithes were commuted for land under an Enclosure Act in 1773. The living is a perpetual curacy with that of Aston Eyre annexed, in the diocese of Hereford, value £204. The church, dedicated to St. George, or, according to others, to St. Gregory, is an ancient structure with a tower containing six bells. The parochial charities produce about £21 per annum, chiefly arising from property bequeathed by Thomas Burtes in 1631, one moiety to the minister, and the other to the poor. There is a school which is entirely supported by the Countess Granville. The Roman Catholics have a chapel at Aldenham Hall, which is a stone building, and is the principal residence."[Transcribed from The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland 1868 by Colin Hinson ©2015]
