Martin Marsh: An Overview

The main information that we have about Martin is a large collection of family letters and a small family portrait.

He was educated at Eton and in 1844 progressed on to Merton College at Oxford University.  In the summer of 1846 he went on a trip to Greece to study the antiquities.  He died in Athens 10 August 1846.  From his letters it is possible to get a picture of a young man full of promise for the future.  His loss must have been a very sorry one for his family.
