Although we are only a small village of about 85 dwellings in South Northamptonshire there is a lot going on in the village.
The successful Marston St Lawrence Cricket Club runs a number of teams and plays in the South Northants Cricket League. There are billiards and table tennis clubs which make use of the village hall which is also the location for regular film showings.
There is also a successful shooting club, the Marston Marauders.
The Parish Church is part of the Chenderit Benefice and services are held twice a month and there is an active bell ringing group who practice weekly on a Monday night.
