Lea Marston

Lea Marston

Lea Marston is a village in the North Warwickshire district of the county of Warwickshire, England.

The village can be traced back to the Saxon period. In the Domesday book, separately owned manors were recorded. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Lea Marston belonged to the Adderley family. They acquired it through marriage when Charles Adderley married Anne Arden of Park Hall in Castle Bromwich. The Adderley Manor House was restyled in the traditional 18th-century style and was called Hams Hall.

The parish church of St John the Baptist was established about 1300. Only the south wall of the nave and the north wall survive from this era. It was lengthened in the 15th century and the chancel was rebuilt in 1876-7. There is 14th-century work elsewhere. The church contains monuments to members of the Adderley family.

Today, Lea Marston is a residential village.
