We founf no entry for Priors Marston in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 5, 1949) notes: "Marston was a chapel of Priors Hardwick in 1279 [...] The earliest material in the building is the late-13thcentury north arcade, indicating an aisle of that period added to an earlier nave that was probably shorter than now. [...] The font and other furniture are modern."
