Marsworth (Tring Station, Herts, 31 m.) is an unimportant village. The pleasant village hall backed by allotment gardens, at S. end of village, is a satisfactory sight. The church has some interesting features. These are (1) the E. E. tower; (2) the P. windows of nave (the E. window is modern) ; (3) the P. font; (4) the 14th­century carved base of modern pulpit; (5) a late and remarkable pictorial brass on N. end of altar tomb, probably that of Edmund West, Serjeant­at-Law (died 1618), depicting a curious death bed scene; (6) a fine brass to Mary West (1606), with a chrysom child; and (7) two daughters of Nicholas West. These are in floor of S. aisle at E. end. The turret outside the N. wall of nave, once enclosing spiral steps to a rood loft, is curious. The moat of the old Manor House of the West is a little to the N. of the church.
