History


Marton is mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to Gospatric (son of Arnketil) and having two villagers.[3] Historical forms of the name have been recorded as Martun, Marton in Craven, and Bothe Martons.[4] The name derives from the Old English of mere tūn, a farm near a pool.[5] Sometime in the 12th century, the mill at Marton was donated to the religious house of Bolton Priory, (Embsay) before it moved to the place now known as Bolton Abbey.[6]

West Marton has a village Hall and a shop which doubles up as a post office.[7][8] To the south of the village is Gledstone Hall, which is a grade II* listed building. The current building, designed by Edwin Lutyens, was built in 1923, replacing an earlier structure designed by John Carr of York.[9][10][11]

Together with East Marton it forms the civil parish of Martons Both. At the 2011 Census, the parish of Martons Both had 213 residents.[12]
