Moreton Harwood was the small village in Gloucestershire, where Sarah Jane Smith's aunt Lavinia bought a manor house and moved from South Croydon, in 1979. Along with her furnishings, Lavinia took a crate that had been delivered for Sarah Jane the previous year. Unbeknownst to Lavinia, the crate contained K9 Mark III. Sarah Jane's cousin (Lavinia's ward), Brendan Richards nominally resided with Lavinia but boarded at Wellington College during the academic year; he wanted to attend the local comprehensive school in Moreton Harwood.
