The broach spire of St. Mary’s Church is a prominent landmark across the River Witham, from the railway to the east and the A1 to the west. These broach spires, where the spire grows out of the tower without a parapet or pinnacles and is supported only by its broaches at the four corners, were the earliest spires to be built (13th century). The Church itself is of distinctive architectural and monumental interest and is grade I-listed by English Heritage (English Heritage Building ID: 193966 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-193966-church-of-st-mary-marston-lincolnshire British Listed Buildings). The church is of 12th-century origin, with an 1881-82 chancel restored and partly rebuilt in Early English style. http://parishes.lincolnshire.gov.uk/marston/section.asp?catId=13125 Marston Parish Council
