Marston St. Lawrence is a village and civil parish about 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of Brackley in Northamptonshire.

A Bronze Age hoard of weapons was found in Thenford Hill Farm near the village in the nineteenth century that is now in the collections of the British Museum.

[6] Much of the building is Decorated Gothic, including the chancel arch and the arcades to both the north and south aisles.

[7] The Perpendicular Gothic east window of the chancel was added in the second half of the 14th century.

There are two carved wooden screens: a Perpendicular one to the north chapel and a very well-carved Jacobean one of about 1610 to the tower.

[10] But the house was completely rebuilt between 1700 and 1730,[10] making the present building either Queen Anne or early Georgian.

[12] The labouring-class poet Mary Leapor (1722–46) was born in Marston St Lawrence.
