Fiskerton cum Morton is a civil parish in the Newark and Sherwood district, within the county of Nottinghamshire, England.

The parish lies along the bank of the River Trent and is primarily a commuter residential area to both Nottingham and Newark.

Several other watercourses run through the area and are tributaries: Hazelford Weir and lock span one of the River Trent channels at the split by The Nabbs island in the south of the parish, and is navigable.

[2] Morton is mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086 with a spelling of “Mortune”,[3] meaning farm or settlement in the mor (marsh or moor), and later becoming Moreton.

Walter's son, Ralph d’Aincourt, founded Thurgarton Priory, and also granting Fiskerton as part of the endowment.

Like Fiskerton, the manorial lands of Morton were eventually granted by Elizabeth 1st to Thomas Cooper and then to the Plumptre family from 1649, and then the Wrights from 1857.

A key development was the opening of the Nottingham-Lincoln railway in August 1846 with the station half a mile from the village centre.

The large malthouse, referred in present times as The Wharf, closed in 1904 when James Hole concentrated his business in Newark, and some employees moved from Fiskerton.

[11] As well as conservation areas defined for Fiskerton[12] and Morton,[13] several buildings and residences are designated as local features of historical interest, including the Bromley Arms public house, and notably the Church of St Denis at Grade II*.

There is also a scheduled ancient monument site immediately outside the Morton village by the southern boundary, where aerial photographs showed from the layout of the land a complex settlement dating from Iron-Age or Romano-British times.
