South Moreton
Mortune took its name in the Domesday Book from the houses on the ridge above the moor of Hakka's Brook (now known as the Hagbourne or Hadden Marsh), and was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes.Huse or Bray is a recently renovated low building nearby, with a paddock in front, at the T-junction at the east end of the village.[5] In a central position on the High Street, South Moreton has a Strict Baptist chapel which has three services a week.At the time of the building of the Great Western Railway, the fit young "navvies" (originally "navigators") offered cash for lodgings, so many more of the village cottages were opened as public houses.Cholsey railway station is equally close and is served by the line between Reading, Didcot Parkway and Oxford.
