Moreton is the burial place of T. E. Lawrence, also known as Lawrence of Arabia. It is also known for the windows of its church, all designed and engraved by Sir Laurence Whistler over a period of about 30 years, gradually replacing the dull panels of coloured glass that had been in situ since the original windows were blown out by a bomb in World War II.
