Much Marcle is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England, located 7 miles (11 km) north-east of Ross-on-Wye.

In the Domesday Book of 1086, Much Marcle was listed as Merchelai in the hundred of Wimundestreu[4] and contained 36 households, a large settlement following the Norman Conquest.

[6] In 1096, the manor was granted by King William II to Hamelin de Balun,[7] whose family later witnessed the signing of Magna Carta.

Following the Second World War, a plaque listing the names of those men who lost their lives serving in the military was placed in Saint Bartholomew's Church.

In his book The Natural History of Selborne, Gilbert White (1720–93) quotes the words of John Philips: I nor advise, nor reprehend the choice Of Marcley Hill; the apple nowhere finds A kinder mould; yet 'tis unsafe to trust Deceitful ground; who knows but that once more This mount may journey, and his present site Forsaken, to thy neighbour's bounds transfer Thy goodly plants, affording matter strange For law debates!

[11] Notable local farms include the Bounds, home of Weston's Cider and the Scrumpy House Restaurant.

Many of the ancient cottages that appear in the 18th century maps no longer exist, although there are several good examples of "black and white" half-timbered buildings that have survived, especially in the village's main street.

[14] Much Marcle Garage is housed in a re-purposed World War One aircraft hangar, designated a Grade II listed building.
