The church, dedicated to St Peter, was first built during Norman times to replace an earlier Saxon church in the village. St Peter's has been added to in the 17th and 19th centuries. There is a TV transmission mast just north of the village. Together with West Marton it forms the civil parish of Martons Both and in the 2011 census the population was listed as 213.
