North Marston Tourist Information

North Marston is A village in Buckinghamshire 3 Miles south of Winslow and 4 miles North of Waddesdon. Marston literally means farm-by-marsh - referring to the clay soils of the village that hold water whenever it rains. The 'North' part of the name comes from the settlement's position relative to the small village of Fleet Marston (which lies between Waddesdon and Aylesbury)

North Marston is very well known in the area, since a very famous vicar - John Schorne - came here in 1290 and found the holy Schorne well in a time of Drought at North Marston. The Water was thought to be Holy because of how quickly it was found. People thought that Schorne, Rector of the village, had performed a miracle and water just came out the ground. Thus, pilgrims came from all around to drink the holy water. The well was restoration project was completed in 2005 and opened October that year.

The Local church is Dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and together with the Methodist Chapel.
