MERSTON-LONG, (Hertfordshire) or MARSTON-LONG, in the p. of Tring, and the boundary of the Co. in the road to Buckingham,
was in the R. of Ed. III. a very fair seat. Rob. Stratford, a clergyman, granted it to Mr. Bardolfe. It was afterwards the
Lp. of the Wilmots, ancestors to the Es. of Rochester; then it was conveyed to the Clerks; from whom it passed by marriage
to Tho. Saunders; whose descendant, a barrister of that name, sold it to Tho. Bromley of London; whose son, Nathaniel, has
one part of the manor, and Mr. Gore, of Tring, the other. The Ch. is a curacy, served once a month in the afternoon by the
curate of Tring, which is 3 m. off.
