The village and civil parish Morebath sits in northern Mid Devon in the county of Devon, England. It occupies a small valley beside the River Batherm, close to the market town of Bampton and the upland fringes of Exmoor, with a landscape of rolling farmland, hedgerows and wooded combes that gives a distinctly rural character.
Despite its modest size, Morebath is well known to historians for the exceptionally detailed 16th–17th century parish records kept under its long‑serving priest Christopher Trychay, famously examined in Eamon Duffy’s The Voices of Morebath, which illuminate village life through the Reformation. Traditionally centred on mixed farming and the wool trade, the community still revolves around local farms, seasonal events and St George's Church, with an emphasis on preserving traditional buildings and lanes.
