Old Marston is a long-established village suburb just to the east of Oxford in Oxfordshire, sitting beside the winding River Cherwell. It still has a strong village feel thanks to flood meadows, riverside walks and small green spaces, while the Marston Ferry provides a handy pedestrian and cycle link towards Summertown and the city.
The historic heart clusters around St Nicholas Church, reflecting medieval origins amid later 19th- and 20th-century growth; today the area combines older cottages and newer housing with active community life - village hall events, sports clubs, allotments and local pubs - making it a popular residential spot for people working in the city’s universities and hospitals.
