Welcome to Marton
CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
Marton, Cheshire is a small village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England on the A34 road 3 miles (5 km) north of Congleton (grid reference SJ850682). Its correct postal address is "Marton, Macclesfield" which avoids confusion with "Marton, Winsford". Its outstanding feature is the 14th-century timber-framed church of St James and St Paul, founded in 1343. A plaque outside the church claims it is the oldest timber-framed church still in use in Europe. Marton is also home to a sessile oak known as the Marton Oak. The oldest in Cheshire, it is one of the biggest oaks in Britain. Although its trunk is split, it has a single root system and is therefore regarded as a single tree. At one time its circumference was 58 feet (17.7 m); it is estimated to be over 1,200 years old.
