Marton village school

Marton is a village in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 15 miles (24 km) north west of the city of York and 6 miles (9.7 km) north east of the market town of Knaresborough. Together with Grafton it forms the civil parish of Marton cum Grafton.

Village pub

The village public house is called Ye Olde Punch Bowl Inn, a sixteenth century inn which still contains a number of original features. The lease was part owned by Neil Morrisey until the business went into liquidation on 22 October 2009.^[1] The original experience of buying the lease and setting up the pub/microbrewery were turned into a TV programme "Neil Morrisey's Risky Business" which aired late 2008 on Channel 4.^[2]

History

There is an active village history group^[3] which is engaged in a number of activities as detailed on its website.^[4]

In 2007 a Roman lead coffin burial was discovered very close to the village,^[5] which was widely reported in the local and national press: the village history group intend to use the location of this burial as the starting point for an extended search for the Roman villa which they believe is certainly associated with it.
