Welcome to The Marlow Society
The Marlow Society is a registered charity whose efforts are devoted to the preservation and development of Marlow and the surrounding villages and countryside. We were formed in 1958 as the Marlow Bridge Preservation Society to prevent the 1832 suspension bridge from being replaced.
We seek to represent all those who enjoy living in, working in, shopping or just visiting our beautiful town situated on the banks of the River Thames, in the foothills of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The Marlow Society has received, with much regret, the news of the death of Professor John Griffith. Professor Griffith was instrumental in forming the Marlow Bridge Preservation Committee in 1957. The Town owes a great debt of gratitude to him. On behalf of the Marlow Society your Executive determined that a fitting tribute would be to place on the Society’s web site a paper, written by Professor Griffith, which describes the successful campaign to save the Marlow Bridge that was conducted from 1957 to 1962.
