Marlow, sitting on the river Thames, is a modern survivor of the 11th century original. In the 11th century, Marlow was surrounded by monasteries, and the remains of a 12th century chapel and crypt still exist. In St. Peter Street is The Old Parsonage and Deanery, which form part of the finest 14th century house in Buckinghamshire. Marlow Place, which dates from 1721, formed part of the Royal Military College before it moved to Sandhurst in 1812.

The town's beautiful suspension bridge was built from 1829-1832 and just along the river is the 18th century Court Garden House.

The 1085 Domesday Book entry for Marlow translates as follows:

"LAND OF QUEEN MAUD IN DESBOROUGH HUNDRED. Queen Maud held Marlow at fifteen hides. There were 26 curucates in the demesne, five hides and two ploughs and 35 villeins, with twenty three copy-holders having twenty four ploughs; one serf and one mill worth twenty shillings. Twenty six curucates of pasture, pannage for 1,000 hogs, and a fishery which yields 1,000 eels.

Altogether worth 25 pounds when the Queen first received 10 pounds and the same when Earl Algar held it."
