The village name 'Marston' is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'marsh farm'. The prefix 'Fleet' refers to a stream in the parish, and was added to distinguish the village from nearby North Marston . In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as ''Mersetune''. The A main line railway, the Great Central and Metropolitan Joint line ran through the Parish though this has long since been downgraded to a single, freight only line. All that remains of the village today is a small number of houses and a farm, and the parish church of St Mary The Virgin . |
