Welcome to Marston

Marston is a small village located in the county of Warwickshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles north of the town of Rugby and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a population of around 500 people and is known for its historic church, St. Nicholas, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade II listed building and is a popular attraction for visitors to the area.

The village of Marston has a rich history and is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. It was once a thriving agricultural community and was home to several farms and small businesses. Today, the village is much quieter, but still retains its rural charm. There are several walking trails in the area, including the Marston Way, which takes visitors on a scenic tour of the village and its surrounding countryside.

Despite its small size, Marston has a strong sense of community and is home to several local events throughout the year. These include the Marston Tractor Run, which sees vintage tractors parading through the village, and the Marston Scarecrow Festival, where residents create their own scarecrows to display in their gardens. The village also has a popular pub, The Bull's Head, which serves traditional English food and drink and is a popular meeting place for locals and visitors alike.
