MARTON, a township in Sinnington parish, N. R. Yorkshire; on the river Rye, 4¾ miles W by S of Pickering. Acres, 640. Pop., 243. Houses, 56. The manor belongs to the Rev. G. Wright. The township is a meet for the Sinnington hounds. A schoolroom is used fortnightly as a chapel of ease; and there are chapels for Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists.
