No entry found for Marlston in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 3, 1923) notes: "The building is of 12th-century origin, but excepting the north doorway, which dates from about 1170, there are no old features remaining in the structure. A brass placed in the church records its restoration in 1855, the casing of the walls with flint in 1876, and a further restoration in 1901, when the vestry and bell-turret were added. The font and the other furniture are all modern." The CRSBI (2015) mentions no font, but notes a north doorway and a piscina of the 12th century here.
