History
The village is mentioned the Domesday Book as being in the Hundred of Appletree and the County of Derbyshire, with 18 villagers, meadows, woodlands and a church.[2] At the time of the Domesday survey, the village and surrounding land were held by the monks from the Priory of Tutbury, "a dependency of the Benedictine abbey of St. Pierresur-Dives in Normandy."[3] The name of the village derives from Old English Mersc-tūn - a "marsh farm/settlement" (on the River Dove).[4] The village lies on the River Dove and is Script error: No such module "convert". north west of Burton on Trent, close to the Staffordshire border.[5] Historically referred to as Marston upon Dove, the village was the largest in the parish which contained Hilton and Hatton.[6]
The grade I listed Church of St Mary was built in the 13th century,[7] but before this a church stood on the same site, as mentioned in the Domesday Book.[8] It is believed to have the oldest bell in the Diocese of Derby.[9] The churchyard has some Commonwealth War Graves from both the First and Second World Wars.[10]
The River Dove used to run right to the south of the village, but at some time the meander was cut off and the river now passes further south.[11] The Old River Dove site in the village is now a SSSI.[12]
The village is not served by public transport, despite being close to the Crewe–Derby line.[13] However, Template:Rws railway station is only Script error: No such module "convert". to the west.[14] National Cycle Network route number 549 runs through the village between Hurdlow and Waterhouses.[15][16]
