About Old Marton

Old Marton breathes a quiet existence in the Shropshire landscape. It lies 5.3 km west of Ellesmere (from Ellesmere: bearing 265°T, OS grid SJ 347 344), and is situated west-north-west of Perthy village. The fields surrounding Old Marton, often bathed in the soft, diffused light that filters through the West Midlands' skies, hold the memory of generations of toil, their rich soil a silent testament to the agricultural heart of this place. A scatter of cottages, their brickwork mellowed by time, cluster around a small green that, on certain days, might carry the faint echo of children's laughter or the murmur of neighbours meeting. The air here, particularly after a spring rain, carries the clean scent of damp earth and distant hedgerows, a fragrance that speaks of a life lived in close communion with the land. Old Marton is a place where the slow unfolding of seasons dictates the rhythm, where the quiet hum of rural life is the dominant sound.
