Two extracts from the 1932 inventory have useful information: “In the Church, the MORTON CHAPEL (15 ft. by 10½ft.) is of early 16th century date,
with an embattled parapet.
In the E. wall is a window of four cinquefoiled ogee lights with vertical tracery in a two-centred
head; the reveals and label are moulded. In the S. wall are two windows, each of three trefoiled
lights with a transom and tracery in a four-centred head; the reveals and label are moulded and
there are trefoiled heads below the transom. At the back of the first bay of the S. nave arcade
is a four-centred arch with responds and soffit enriched with trefoil-headed panelling and with
a moulded impost at the springing level. The four-centred W. arch, opening into the aisle, has
moulded arch and responds, the latter with triple attached shafts; the head of the arch rises
above the aisle roof, the end of which is boarded; the wall-face S. of the arch has trefoil-headed
panelling and tracery. The chapel has a stone fan-vault of two bays, springing from moulded corbels
and from a pendant in the middle of the N. side; the flat soffit, in the middle of each bay, has a
quatrefoil carved with a tun with a capital M enclosing a ‘black-letter’ M. for Morton;
at the base of the pendant is carved a tun with the initials T.M.
“OLD COURT FARM, house, gatehouse and earthworks, N. of the churchyard, was formerly a manor house of the Bishops of Hereford. The House is of two storeys; the walls are of stone and modern brick and the roofs are tiled. The stone S. block of the house is of 15th-century date and to it was added the L-shaped block on the N. side, early in the 17th century; this block was perhaps timber-framed, but has been re-faced with brick. Inside the building the original block has an inserted chimney-stack; the room E. of it has an open timbered ceiling, with original moulded beams, joists and wall-plates. The roof is partly original and of five bays with tie-beams and curved braces below the collar-beams. The 17th-century addition has chamfered ceiling-beams and a dado of early 17th-century panelling. The Gatehouse range faces the road on the E. side of the site. It is now of two storeys with a stone outer wall, perhaps of the 14th century, and a timber-framed inner wall. The gateway has a major and minor archway, the former has jambs and two-centred arch of two chamfered orders; the smaller archway has jambs and two centred arch of one chamfered order; it is now blocked. Inside the building, in the E. wall is a recess, perhaps a fireplace, with chamfered jambs and rebuilt head. The S. part of the building is a later extension. The Earthworks, in the field N.W. of the house, consist of a series of banks and ditches, There are traces of ditches also to the E. of the house, and the stream bounding the farm enclosure on the N. and W. appears to have been straightened.” The monuments listed in the 1930-31 survey are shown on this map. |
