" Burnaby House is undoubtedly one of the more important houses in the village, being at one time a farmhouse to the principal landowner. It is Grade II Listed and has timber framed elevations with infill panels under a mellow clay tiled roof. The interior of the house is full of beamed character with unusually high ceilings with the ornate beamwork characteristic of its stature in the late 16th Century. The windows are the original leaded lights. There are three Inglenook fireplaces, two with wood burning stoves and a superb farmhouse kitchen with a large Rangemaster cooker (LPG gas) and a terracotta tiled floor.

Situation
The pretty village of North Marston is situated about 7 miles North of the county town of Aylesbury (Marylebone 55 minutes) and about 3.5 miles form the market town of Winslow. The village has a village hall, a pub called the Pilgrim with a successful restaurant, a recreation ground and sports field with pavilion, running track, nature trail and cricket nets. There is a CofE village school for children up to the age of 11. Senior education can be found at nearby Buckingham or Aylesbury where there are grammar schools in both towns. A thriving community shop was established in 2011. The village is famous for Sir John Schorne who was Rector in 1300. During a drought he discovered a well that was reputed to have miraculous healing properties. He had a reputation for holiness such that he is believed to have trapped the devil in a boot which many consider the origin of the Jack in the Box. When he died in 1313 the village became a popular place of pilgrimage with pilgrims who came to take the waters from the Holy Well. This was renovated in 2004/5 and may still be seen.
