Marston Montgomery is a small village and civil parish in western Derbyshire. The population of the civil parish as of the 2011 census was at least 3.[1] It is 4miles from the town of Uttoxeter, Staffordshire. The Church of Saint Giles dates back to Norman times but was heavily restored during the 19th century. The village's school also has a lengthy history, as it has been in existence since at least 1831.[2] It is close to the villages of Cubley and Norbury.
In 2004, Mark Dyche, a resident of Marston Montgomery, killed his ex-fiance Tania Moore, in a violent and pre-meditated attack with accomplices.[3] Derbyshire Police, in their investigation, admitted that their work had been below standard in dealing with the threats made to Moore before the fatal attack.[4]
