Etymology

The name Morchard is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, in the forms Morchet and Morcheta. It is derived from the Common Brittonic words mǭr ("big") and cę̃d ("wood") (corresponding to modern Welsh mawr coed; thus it once meant "large wood".^[2]^: 291 The affix of Bishop, first attested as part of the place-name in 1207, is from the settlement's possession by the Bishop of Exeter, itself first attested in 1086, and to distinguish the settlement from the nearby Cruwys Morchard.^[3]

Characteristics

Morchard Bishop is twinned with Saint-Gatien-des-Bois in Normandy.^[4] It has a garage, a post office, a pub called The London Inn, a surgery, a blacksmith and its own woodland. It is about 8 miles (13 km) from the market town of Crediton. Community events include: a village pantomime, an allotment association, a ukulele band and football teams.^{[citation needed]}
