George Marsh was a resident of Deane, living at Broadgate Farm. He was a devoted Christian who preached at Deane. Research has shown that he was not a vicar as some have suggested, or an ordained minister.
Most of our information comes from Foxe's Book of Martyrs. The John Foxe website gives the full text of four versions of the tome but due to technical reasons we can only provide a link to that site. Alternatively, an eBook can be downloaded. You may need to download an ePub reader such as Adobe Digital Editions to read it.
There is a monument to George Marsh in the Chester district of Boughton. It is located near to St Paul's Church on the A51 (postcode CH35BH). Just one of many websites to give a location is www.chestertourist.com. Another is www.waymarking.com.
In 2012, an approach was made to the church about making a documentary about George Marsh. Simon Peter Sutherland has done a lot of research into the Martyr from Deane, a useful resource for anyone interested in the injustices of our Christian past. A trailer is available from YouTube
