High Marnham history

Medieval history

Roger de Busli at the time of the Domesday (1086) was the key landowner of the Marnham manor as well beyond. William de Kewles became lord of these manors from this, and from this they passed to the Chaworths. Elizabeth, the daughter and heiress of Sir George Chaworth, carried the holdings through marriage to Sir William Cope. By 1853 Earl Brownlow was the principal owner and lord of the manor.

Marnham Hall

Marnham Hall comprised a large manor house, Grade II listed, set within large grounds and located close to the River Trent. The oldest part of the hall dates to the 16th century, with remodelling and re-facing in the early 18th century. It was the home of the Cartwright family who had ‘made good’ through a family connection to Thomas Cranmer. For 250 years they were the dominant family here and their memorials carpet the sanctuary floor.

Later history

By the late 19th century High Marnham village was also called Ferry. Ferry service was in place for many centuries between the village and South Clifton until the early 20th century.

High Marnham power station

The plant was commissioned in 1958, officially opened in October 1962, and closed in 2003 after 45 years of operation. An electrical substation remains in operation on site.

High Marnham toponymy

The name “Marnham” means ‘Mearna’s homestead/village’, although little knowledge on this owner exists. The prefix is due to the village being ‘higher’ of the two Marnham villages.
