[3] A contemporary drawing of the village by George Cuit has revealed the cottage to have significantly deteriorated by as early as 1788, a precursor to it being levelled by new local landowner, Bartholomew Rudd, in the 1790s.

The tiny community of Marton, Queensland, Australia, upstream from Cooktown on the banks of the Endeavour River, was named after James Cook's birthplace in remembrance of his 7-week stay in the region in 1770.

[citation needed] He built a new hall, which, after serving for a short period of time as a museum, was destroyed during demolition by fire in 1960, after standing empty for several years.

[9] They had founded Gisborough Priory in 1119, and succeeding generations of the family bestowed gifts of land and property on this and other religious houses in the area.

[10] A later pen portrait in the Parish magazine tells us that the Church was "restored, widened, and lengthened so that it became, from a little whitewashed, flat ceilinged, sash-windowed, dilapidated edifice with only two aisles and one transept, into the present beautiful building".

In the 2023 local elections, the following members were returned to Middlesbrough Borough Council:[16] Other notable persons who lived in the parish of Marton include Bolckow's business partner John Vaughan (1799–1868), who lived at Gunnergate Hall until his death; Sir Raylton Dixon (1838–1901), a Middlesbrough shipbuilder; Henry Cochrane, an ironmaster; Agnes Spencer (died 1959), the wife of the founder of Marks and Spencer.

[19] Public houses include the Southern Cross and the Rudds Arms (both on the A172); the former is located adjacent to the A172 / Stainton Way crossroads and the latter close to the A172 / A174 interchange.

The Marton Hotel and Country Club (closed October 2017) was located almost directly opposite to the Rudds Arms before being severely damaged and subsequently demolished in a large blaze in June 2019.

[21] The club's pavilion includes a function room available for hire for occasions such as wedding receptions, birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and funerals etc.

Marton is served by bus routes provided by Arriva North East 28, 28a, 29 that connect to Middlesbrough town centre.
