Marlow upon Thames, Buckinghamshire. "The Complete Angler" an hotel (named after Isaac Walton circa 1653)

"Marlow" is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'land remaining after the draining of a pool'.
In the Domesday Book in 1086 it was recorded as Merlaue, though previously it was known as Merelafan (of Brythonic origin "afon" or "avon" is Welsh for "river").

Marlow town has been important for many years. This is because of its location on the River Thames, a major trade route from London to Oxford. It had its own town market charter from 1324 but ownership of the charter has been lost. There is a small market (amounting to two or three stalls, of "back of the van" style traders) held on Wednesdays and Saturday mornings.
