North Moreton is a village and civil parish about 2 miles (3 km) east of Didcot.

[5] Brian Gunter leased the rectory at North Moreton, living there with his family.

In 1598 he caused fatal injuries to two brothers of the Gregory family during a brawl at a football match.

In 1604 his daughter, Anne Gunter, suffering from vomiting and fits, complained of witchcraft initiated by the Gregory family.

A Star Chamber case later found that Brian Gunter had persuaded his daughter to pretend that she was possessed.
