MORLEY ST. PETER, a parish 3½ miles S.W. of Wymondham, has 33 houses, 147 souls, and 1.009a. of land, mostly belonging to J. T. G Browne, Esq., the lord of the manor, who resides at Morley House, a handsome mansion of white brick, erected about fifteen years ago, which commands extensive views over fine grounds, well studded with timber. The old Hall, formerly the seat of the Sedley family, is surrounded by a deep moat. The Church is a very small structure, and its curacy has long been consolidated with the rectory of St. Botolph, which is considered the mother church of both parishes.
