Marshfield is a village in the local-government area of South Gloucestershire, England, on the borders of the counties of Wiltshire and Somerset. Its toponym derives from the Old English word "march", meaning "a border", hence "Border Field" would be a literal translation. The name has nothing to do with "marsh" in the sense of a bog.
The history of the village is reflected in the buildings and their architecture, including the church and the market place. Troops occupied the village in 1643 during the English Civil War.
A range of customs and cultural events take place in the village.
