An Elizabethan house of mellow stone, converted in the 18th century, situated in a fine setting with three attractive gardens.
Originally a Tudor E-plan house built for the Smyth family and remodeled for Arthur Weaver in the 1740s, when the top floor and pedimented Doric porch were added. After changing hands many times, Morville was bought in 1930 by a Midlands cinema owner named H S Bayliss, who removed some of the Victorian additions and made considerable alterations to the house. Six years later it was sold to Dr W J S Bythell and was given to the Trust in 1966 by his daughter Audrey.
