Newton Morrell is a village and civil parish in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. It is 9km (06miles) from Darlington and 3km (02miles) from Junction 56 on the A1(M) motorway[1] and 7miles north-east of Richmond.[2]
The village was described in the Domesday Book as belong to Count Alan and in the manor of Gilling.[3] The name of the village derives from a combination of Old English (nīwe tūn) and a family surname of Morrell (from Old French meaning "dark and husky").[4]
At the 2011 Census the population of the civil parish was less than 100. Information regarding this population is included in the parish of Cleasby. The village is very near Barton and Stapleton.[5]
Just to the south of the village is what has been designated as a medieval shrunken village. Earthworks are also present at this site.
