A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Morley St. Peter from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "MORLEY-ST.PETER, a parish in Forehoe [registration] district, Norfolk; 3 miles NNE of Attleborough [railway] station, and 3½ SW of Wymondham. Post town: Wymondham. Acres: 1,015. Real property: £1,956. Population: 147. Houses: 34. The property is divided among a few. Morley House and much of the land belong to J. B. G. Browne, Esq. The living is a [perpetual] curacy, annexed to the rectory of Morley-St. Botolph, in the diocese of Norwich. The church is good; and consists of nave and chancel, with a low tower."
Morley St. Peter was an ancient parish, then a civil parish in Norfolk until 1935 when it was combined with its sister parish of Morley St. Botolph into a new civil parish of Morley.
