MARTON, a township, with a scattered village, in Whitegate parish, Cheshire; 4½ miles SW by S of Northwich. Acres, 2,684. Real property, £3,104. Pop., 639. Houses, 128. The manor was given by Randle Blundiville to Randle de Merton; went in 1305, in exchange for other property, to Vale Royal abbey; passed, at the dissolution, to the Mainwarings; was sold in 1690 to the Fleetwoods; passed afterwards, by sale, to the Cholmondeleys; and belongs now to Lord Delamere. Marton Hall, connected with the manor, was a very ancient moated building, with a domestic chapel attached to it; was taken down in 1848: and is still represented by its moat, enclosing about an acre of ground. AbbotsMoss is the seat of the Hon. T. G. Cholmondeley; Cassia Lodge, of W. Turner, Esq.; and Dale-Fords, of Capt. White.
