Background
History
Prior to the Norman conquest, the Lingham area of Moreton was a possible location for Dingesmere, mentioned with regard to the Battle of Brunanburh, in Egil's Saga. It was in the Wirral Hundred, the ancient administrative area for the Wirral Peninsula. In the twelfth century, it formed part of the estates of Hamo de Mascy. The village joined with neighbouring Lingham to form the parish of Moreton-cum-Lingham in the late nineteenth century. Moreton was formerly a township and chapelry in the parish of Bidston; in 1866, Moreton became a separate civil parish. On 1 April 1928, the parish was abolished and merged with Wallasey, becoming part of the County Borough of Wallasey.
