Marton is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated at the junction between the A156 and the A1500. It is 5 miles (8 km) south of Gainsborough, and 11 miles (18 km) north-west of Lincoln. The population of the civil parish (including Gate Burton) was 747 at the 2011 census.[1] The parish borders Brampton, Gate Burton, Sturton by Stow, North Leverton with Habblesthorpe, Cottam, Sturton-le-Steeple and Willingham.[2]
In Roman times, it was a way station, slightly north of the larger fort at Torksey, the point just before the Roman road crossed the River Trent. The modern A156 road crosses the ancient Roman road (now the A1500) mentioned in the Antonine Itinerary.[citation needed] Erasmus Darwin, the grandfather of Charles Darwin, descended from a yeoman family who lived for a number of generations at Marton.[3]
In the centre of the village stands the church of St Margaret. The building is essentially of the Norman Conquest period, built using a mixture of Anglo-Saxon and Norman styles.[4] Much of the work of these periods is still retained. It has an 11th-century tower[5] of herringbone masonry, a Saxon cross shaft set in an outer wall and an ancient carved crucifix within. The tall cross in the churchyard is used as a war memorial and it is thought to be a former Medieval market buttercross.[citation needed]
