EspañolMARSFIELD, NEW SOUTH WALES
'Marsfield' is a suburb of the City of Ryde, in the Lower North Shore, of Sydney, Australia. This green suburb is characterised by large, modern and expensive homes on the higher parts with views, and town-houses/units in the parts of the suburb that border Turramurra and Epping.
Marsfield got its name from the Field of Mars located in the area in the early days of British colonization of Australia. In 1792 Governor Phillip began the granting of parcels of lands to Royal Marines, and the area was referred to on Phillip's maps as the Field of Mars, named after the Roman Field of Mars probably because of the military link. Originally known as the Field of Mars, than as North Ryde, it contained the area of what is now Marsfield, along with the surrounding suburbs of Ryde and Epping. As part of this history, many of Marsfield's and bordering suburb Macquarie Park's streets are named after famous (Commonwealth) conflicts in time. Such examples include Crimea, Culloden, Waterloo, Herring, Taranto, Torrington, Balaclava, Agincourt and Khartoum. Field of Mars was also the name for the parish proclaimed in 1835.
Marsfield is home to Curzon Hall, a large castle-like manor turned restaurant and function centre. Marsfield is also home to Epping Boys High School.
