Priors Marston – did you know?

Priors Marston is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as “Mersitone,” meaning “settlement by the lake” in Old English.
Interestingly, the village belonged to St Mary’s Priory in Coventry — hence the “Priors” in its name, reflecting its monastic history.
The village primary school, The Priors School, was originally a state school opened in 1847, closed in 1996, then reopened as one of the first 22 free schools in the UK in 2011 after raising over £1.2 million in 15 years of self-regulation.
Notably, the village only received mains electricity supply in 1934 and mains water in 1948, highlighting its remote rural character well into the 20th century.
Caroline Bradley, the renowned English showjumper who competed at Olympic and World Championship level, lived in Priors Marston and is buried there.
What’s more, the Oxford Canal runs close to the village, providing scenic towpath walks and linking the Midlands to the Thames.
The parish church, St Leonard’s, dates from the 13th century and underwent a major renovation that removed Victorian blockwork to reveal a historic arch in the tower.
Finally, Priors Marston sits on the Jurassic Way, a long-distance footpath that follows the limestone belt through Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire.
Interestingly, the village has a permanent population of just 579 according to the 2011 census, but Priors Hall can cater for up to 250 people — almost half the village.
Notably, the Hollybush Inn is the village pub, and the sports and social club doubles as a community cinema, showing films in the village hall.
