Marlow is a historic market town situated on the north bank of the River Thames in the south of Buckinghamshire. It is recorded in Domesday as 'Merlaue'. It had its own market by 1227. Though this lapsed before 1600, the town remained a thriving regional commercial centre. The first bridge across the Thames was built in the 14th century. The current suspension bridge was designed by William Tierney Clark and was built between 1829-1832. Marlow Town Hall (1807) was designed by Samuel Wyatt in the neoclassical style, serving as a focal point for the High Street's neoclassical elegance. All Saints Church (C of E) was was designed by Charles Frederick Inwood and completed in 1835. Marlow Rowing Club, founded in 1871, has produced many Olympic oarsmen including Sir Steve Redgrave. Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley lived on West Street from 1816, Mary completing work on Frankenstein there. The town is within the council area of Buckinghamshire.
