Hidden in the trees at the end of Chapel Lane, the main body of the church was deemed unsafe and pulled down in 1883. There's a quaint thatched cottage next door.

Hidden by the yew trees is an old church tower dating back to about the 15th century. It is a remnant of the 12th century Chapel of All Saints, Long Marston. In fact it was a Chapel of Ease; providing a local place of worship, easing the burden for local people who would normally have to make the long walk to the parish church at Tring. It is possible that it also served the needs of the inhabitants of the Manor of Long Marston nearby. More: longmarston.org/the-lost-chapel-of-long-marston

Ruth Osborne, known as the "Long Marston Witch," was a tragic victim of superstition and fear. In 1751, she was accused of witchcraft in Long Marston, England, after a local publican claimed she had cursed his cattle. A mob gathered to punish her, subjecting her to a brutal "ducking test" in a nearby pond. Sadly, Ruth Osborne did not survive the ordeal, becoming the last recorded witch to be executed in England.
