North Moreton is a village and civil parish about 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Didcot. It was part of Wallingford Rural District in Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred it to the new South Oxfordshire District of Oxfordshire.

The parish church of All Saints was built in the 13th century and the superb chantry chapel of the Stapleton family was added in the 14th century. This has geometrical tracery, spirited carving outside, and an east window filled with 14th century glass showing the Passion of Christ and incidents in the lives of Our Lady, St Peter, St Paul and St Nicholas.[2]
