History

The villages name means 'Moor wood/clearing'. 'St. Botolph' after the dedication of the church. Morley St Botolph played a small part in the early stages of Kett's rebellion of 1549, when the townspeople of Wymondham attacked and broke down enclosures in the village. On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Morley St Peter to form "Morley".
