Morebath

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Morebath is a sheep-farming village in Devon, England.

In the sixteenth century, it consisted of only 33 families, living and working on the southern edge of Exmoor. An account of life in Morebath can be read in Eamon Duffy's book The Voices of Morebath (Yale 2001). During the Reformation, Morebath relied on the guidance of its priest, Sir Christopher Trychay (vicar of Morebath 1520-1574). His detailed records provide a striking insight into the life of this small English community.
