Stow Maries
Excursions in the County of Essex by Thomas Kitson Cromwell 1818
Stow Mareys, a
little to the south-west of Norton ; but the manor-house, which
belonged to the noble family of Bohun, is about three quarters of a
mile south-west of the church. The mansion-house of the manor of Hayes is about the same distance south of the church as Mareys; this anciently belonged to the Sutton family.

The
church (Sts Mary and Margaret) consists of
chancel, nave, and wooden belfry with short
spire.
It is chiefly 15th cent. The lower part
of the nave walls are flint and stone chequer, the
upper brick. It was considerably restored in 1870.
