Moreton Say

Moreton Say is a small village and sparsely populated civil parish in Shropshire, England, near the borders with Cheshire and Staffordshire, just northwest of the town of Market Drayton.

As a result, the only employment opportunities are at the local primary school, a residential home, and surrounding farms.

[10] The interior of the church contains several monuments of the Vernon, Clive and Corser families,[11] one of which is a modern memorial to Robert Clive, who is recorded in the parish register as having been baptised on 2 October 1725, and buried at the church on 30 November 1774, there is also a 17th-century tomb to John Bostock and Jane his wife.

[13] Moreton Say parish, which covers an area of nearly 6000 acres, includes the villages of Longford, Bletchley, Styche with Woodlands, and Tern Hill.

[18] With the lack of employment in the village itself many people moved to towns and cities, such as Market Drayton.
