In 1870-72 John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Marske as:"A village and a parish in Richmond district, N. R. Yorkshire.

[5] Initial work on the hall was started by Matthew's son, Timothy, and after a remodelling in the 1730s, a stable block was added in 1750 by John Hutton II, the son of the former member of parliament for Richmond bearing the same name, whose racehorse Marske was best known for siring the undefeated Eclipse.

The ornamental gardens were added in 1836, and the grounds, as well as the stables remain separated from the hall by a road providing access to the village.

[7] In the 1960s the estate was sold to local builder George Shaw and converted into ten apartments, however the mansion was put on the market in 2012 for the sum of £2.5 million.

Marske is part of the Richmondshire District Council electoral ward of Lower Swaledale and Arkengarthdale.
