Moreton Say is a small village and sparsely populated civil parish in Shropshire, England, near the borders with Cheshire and Staffordshire, just northwest of the town of Market Drayton. It is sometimes spelled Moreton Saye or Moreton Sea.
The civil parish, which also covers the hamlets of Longford and Longslow, had a total population of 429 at the 2001 census, increasing to 485 at the 2011 Census. The parish is 5,999 acres (9.373 sq mi; 24.28 km2).
There are no shops or services within the village. As a result, the only employment opportunities are at the local primary school, a residential home, and surrounding farms.
