Morwell Barton. In 1391 Abbot Thomas Cullyng obtained a licence from Bishop Brantynham for a private chapel at Morwell. The present buildings appears to have been erected or rebuilt in the late 15th or early 16th century and subsequently altered to meet the requirements of a farmhouse. What may have been the exterior doorway to the chapel now admits to the staircase hall of the present dwelling house.
