Lower Morden was originally a hamlet in the parish of Morden. The main village was at the top of the hill. It was a relatively small farming community. Up to World War II, most of the lands in this SM4 area were cow pastures. The present-day settlement formed around the village green and the Beverley and Pyl brooks. There were three main farms towards the end of the 19th century. Morden Farm was nearby the school that had the same name, it stood on the site of Hatfeild School. Peacock Farm was on Cranmer Close and Cardinal Avenue. Hobalds Farm was close to the common.
