Marton is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, on Holderness, eight miles north-east of Hull city centre and two miles east of the village of Skirlaugh and the A165 road.
In 1823 Marton was noted as a place in the parish of Swine, and the Wapentake and Liberty of Holderness. A Roman Catholic chapel was the only place of worship. The population at the time was 129, with occupations including nine farmers and a shoemaker. A carrier, who was also a licensed victualler, operated between the village and Hull twice weekly.[1]
Marton was served from 1864 to 1964 by Burton Constable railway station on the Hull and Hornsea Railway.[2]
To the south-east of the hamlet is a Roman Catholic Church, the Church of the Holy Sacrament, which is a Grade II listed building.[3]
