Marbury, Cheshire

Marbury is a small village in Cheshire East, Cheshire, England. It is the main village in the civil parish of Marbury and District, which also contains the settlements of Norbury, Quoisley and Wirswall. Marbury village lies around 3 miles (5 km) north-east of Whitchurch in Shropshire and 7 miles (11 km) south-west of Nantwich in Cheshire.

The area is agricultural with undulating terrain. Dairy farming is the main industry. The Llangollen Canal runs through the parish, to the north of Marbury village. There are five meres which are important wildlife habitats. Marbury Big Mere is a fishing lake and the Quoisley Meres are a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Wetland of International Importance; they originate in glacial kettle holes. Marbury contains many historic buildings, the earliest being the 15th-century St Michael's Church. "Marbury Merry Days", a traditional country fair, is held in May. In the Civil War, the parish was plundered by both sides during 1642–44, after Thomas Marbury declared for Parliament.
