The village, which is of small extent, is chiefly agricultural. Limestone is quarried for burning into lime and for the roads. This parish was formerly divided into two parts, termed Morton and Merhull, in consequence of the moorish ground adjoining the former: hence the origin of its present name.

The parochial charities produce about £3 per annum. There is a free school for both sexes, and also a place of worship for the Wesleyans."
