Schorne Preschool and North Marston CofE Primary are both located in the village. The former was named after Sir John Schorne who was rector in 1300. When he died in 1313 the village became popular with pilgrims (hence the pub name) who came to take the waters from the Holy Well which can still be seen today.
"The Old Tailors" (formally a part of Shakespeare House) is a well-known and recognisable residence in the heart of North Marston. The property was historically owned by the Holden Family, who ran a successful tailoring business, which as the name suggests operated from within "The Old Tailors". A well-respected business, it supplied general tailoring to the region and beyond, and also specialised in hunting wear. Their customers, who travelled from all over the country, included the Rothschilds and members of the Royal Family. For more information relating to the property and the Holden family please see details in Agents Notes.
