History

The name "Morton" means 'Moor farm/settlement', it was held by Bryan Palms in the 16th century.[5] The site of the deserted medieval village of Morton Palms is marked by the current farm buildings.[6] Formerly a township in the parish of Houghton-le-Skerne,[7] Morton Palms became a civil parish in its own right in 1866.[8]
