Laughton en le Morthen is a compact village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, in South Yorkshire, England. Perched amid rolling agricultural land it retains a distinctly rural character despite being within commuting distance of larger centres such as Sheffield and Doncaster, so many residents combine local farming or village life with work in nearby towns. The surrounding countryside and stone-built cottages give it a traditional Yorkshire feel.
Historically the village has medieval roots and is notable for the earthwork remains of a motte-and-bailey and a long-standing parish church with medieval fabric, which together underline its long settlement history. Today Laughton en le Morthen sustains a small but active local community, with village events and conservation-minded residents who value the historic buildings and landscape while relying economically on a mix of agriculture and commuting to the regional economy.
