Marton Village

The July computer corner will be on the 7th July, 10-00am to 11.30am in Marton Mission Room. This is the last opportunity before the Autumn to stump me with your questions.

On 14th July the club meeting will be a visit to The Aspens in Marton, courtesy of Mr & Mrs Flint. The visit will start at 7.00pm.

David Coxshall from Suffolk used the "Contact" link on this website to request a copy of Richard Lawton's book. He says "My wife Janet, who was Janet Thompson was born in Marton. Her parents were Russell and Doris Thompson who lived there most of their married life. Janet went to School in Marton and Pickering and we were married in Marton Chapel in 1968"

In David's hall in Suffolk, is a painting of the Aspens in Marton, painted by George Herbert Cook, who lived opposite.

David kindly sent an image of the painting which can be seen above.

When David and Janet received their copy of the book they were delighted to find that Janet's mother and father featured in one of the group photographs.

The Appletree Inn closed its doors for the final time last night after a farewell party for Mel & TJ. They will be moving to a new business locally soon and their progress can be followed by visiting www.appletreeinn.co.uk

It appears that our pub will re-open under new management shortly; more information as it becomes available.

The pub signs come down for removal of the Appletree design and logo.

And signs in the windows tell the tale.

Normanby & Marton WI has received a certificate commemorating its 50 years of WI membership. The certificate is to be laminated and displayed in the Mission Room.

The 2009 Summer Programme for the Helmsley Arts Centre can now be found on our "What's On?" page.

Professor Richard Lawton's book, "Marton A Short History" was officially launched at a reception in the Marton Mission Room on 22nd April 2009. Richard was present to sign copies of this excellent book which covers the history of Marton from the Bronze age to the modern day. See "Marton, a Short history" in the Navigation panel on the left of the page for more details.

It is sad that the reappearence of this website coincides with the imminent departure of Mel & TJ Drew from our village pub. Having spent the past 8 years hard at work resulting in the Appletree winning many awards including the prestigious National Dining Pub of the Year 2008, they recently issued this press release:

A number of old style signposts in the region have been refurbished and now look resplendent again. This example is from the Sinnington junction on  Marton Lane.
