History

In 1542 the Crown granted almost all of the land at Murcott to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey.{{sfn|Lobel|1959|pp=80–92}} They retained it until the end of the 19th century, when it passed to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.{{sfn|Lobel|1959|pp=80–92}}

Murcott Mission Room was built in 1895 to a plain Early English design by local Gothic Revival architect A. Mardon Mowbray.{{sfn|Sherwood|Pevsner|1974|p=713}} The Mission Room is a Church of England chapel, part of the Benefice of the Ray Valley.[1]

The Nut Tree Inn public house is a mid-18th century thatched building.{{sfn|Lobel|1959|pp=80–92}} It is a gastropub and in 2009 was awarded a Michelin Star.[2] Murcott used to have a second pub, the Marlake House, but this had closed by 1939.{{sfn|Lobel|1959|pp=80–92}}
