About Marton
Description of Marton, Blackpool
Located in Lancashire, England on the Fylde coast, the town of Marton has been absorbed into neighbouring Blackpool. Before Blackpool became a popular tourist destination, the communities of Great Marton, Little Marton, Marton Fold, and The Peel were all considered to be within the parish of Poulton-le-Fylde.
History of Marton
The combined population of Great Marton and Little Marton was referred to as Meretun in the Domesday Book of 1086. The name comes from the Old English words mere and tn, which together mean "farmstead by a pool." According to that survey, it has an arable area of about six carucates.
St. Chad's Church in Poulton-le-Fylde, a nearby town, was constructed no later than the end of the 11th century and served as the parish church for the area until the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century.
To get to St. Chad's Church, Marton residents had to travel 5 miles (8.0 km), a harrowing journey in the winter. They requested to be separated from Poulton-le-Fylde and the parishes of Layton and Blackpool around 1625. When they finally got their wish in 1800, the Church of St. Paul was constructed in Great Marton. This church, dedicated in 1804, was formerly a chapel in Poulton-le-Fylde. Eventually, it was converted into a parish church. In 1857, the tower was built and the church was enlarged to accommodate Marton's expanding population.
Great Marton was annexed by Blackpool in 1894, while portions of Little Marton were annexed by St. Anne's-on-the-Sea.
Geographical description of Marton
Marton Mere is the name of the swimming hole he mentions. At its widest point, the glacial freshwater lake was about 1 mile (1.6 km) long. Gradually draining the area throughout the 18th century made it suitable for farming once again. Now a part of the protected Marton Mere Local Nature Reserve, the mere is recognised as a place of significant scientific interest.
Marton Moss is another notable feature of the local geography. Its length is around 9 miles (15 km) and its width is around 1.5 miles (2.4 km). Peat forms the moss's framework, on top of a clay layer in which whole (and broken) tree trunks are embedded. These trees are evidence that this area was once forested.
