Morthen

Morthen is a hamlet in South Yorkshire in England, lying between Brampton-en-le-Morthen and Laughton-en-le-Morthen.This had already ceased to function by the Norman Conquest, but gave its name to several villages in the area.The assembly probably met in a meadow lying next to the ridge running between Upper Whiston and the hamlet of Morthen.Given the proximity of a nearby stump of a Saxon cross, which is said by Guy Points in his "Yorkshire.A Gazetteer of Anglo Saxon and Viking Sites" to commemorate the epic Battle of Brunanburgh in 937 would tie the cross and the name together.
