Moreton' is a scattered hamlet ^[1] in the Borough of Stafford in Staffordshire, England. It is located midway between Stafford and Rugeley. It is also close to the Cannock Chase and Shugborough Hall. The hamlet is close to the villages of Great Haywood and Hixon. The hamlet is located in open countryside, with the only notable feature being the "Mayfield House" which is a farm and children's home. It was originally purchased by HS2 limited under compulsory purchase in 2023 ^[2] for the now-scrapped northern leg of the HS2 Network to Crewe and Manchester Picadilly. Since the scrappage of the line, the house was returned to its original use. The hamlet is also home to the Grade II listed "Moreton House", which was given grade listed status in January 1968 by Historic England. ^[3]
