Morley is a village and civil parish within the Borough of Erewash in Derbyshire, England.

It is on the eastern side of Morley Moor, with Morley Smithy to the north. The parish church of St Matthew is a grade I listed building[1] and stands near the (converted) Tithe Barn and dovecote of Morley Hall.[2] The church features a wall of stained glass depicting the story of Robert of Knaresborough along the north aisle which came from Dale Abbey in 1539, home of the fine Sacheverell tombs.
